SAN DIEGO (Jan. 28, Reuters/Field Level Media) – San Diego FC acquired U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Luca de la Torre on loan from Spain's Celta de Vigo.
The deal announced Tuesday runs through the 2025 MLS season and includes a purchase option.
The 26-year-old San Diego native joins the MLS expansion club after playing in Spain, the Netherlands and England.
“We’re thrilled to bring Luca home to San Diego,” said sporting director Tyler Heaps. “Luca’s journey – competing in some of the world's top leagues and representing the USMNT – speaks volumes about his dedication and talent. But what makes this moment truly special is that he's coming home to represent the city that shaped him.”
De la Torre tallied seven goals and 16 assists in 150 matches with La Liga’s Celta (2022-25), Eredivisie side Heracles Almelo (2020-22) and the Premier League's Fulham (2016-20).
Internationally, he has recorded one goal in 24 USMNT matches and was part of the roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2024 Copa America.
San Diego FC's inaugural MLS season will begin on Feb. 23 on the road against the LA Galaxy, the reigning MLS Cup champions.
