A decision that surprised all soccer fans to go to play in the MLS.

For this reason he did not arrive at FC Barcelona

“Barça proposed a four-month scenario at that time and, well, I accepted it because it was a very good opportunity. It wasn't saying: "Oh, I want two years and if not, I'm not going." They said four months and I'm going four. But the LAFC club did not give me the facilities to leave, although it is understandable. In the end, they seek the best for themselves and each one for himself. I tried and it didn't happen, and nothing happens because I'm more than happy here", said Carlos Vela. This was the reason why he didn't get to play in this great club.
