The LA Galaxy have transferred forward Gabriel Pec to Brazilian club Cruzeiro for a club-record fee. While the exact amount wasn't disclosed by the MLS side, reports indicate the deal is worth $12 million upfront with an additional $1.5 million in potential add-ons. Pec, a Brazilian native, spent less than three years with the Galaxy, making 101 appearances and scoring 43 goals while providing 28 assists.

During his tenure, Pec was named MLS Newcomer of the Year and an MLS All-Star in 2024, the same year he helped the Galaxy win the Western Conference and MLS Cup. He has contributed 15 goals and assists across all competitions so far in 2026. His departure marks a significant sale for the Galaxy, surpassing previous notable transfers.

This move signals a shift in strategy for the Galaxy, allowing them to reinvest funds and potentially pursue new talent. For Pec, it represents a return to Brazil after a successful stint in MLS, where he established himself as a dynamic attacking threat.
