The transfer agreement between Estrela da Amadora and Los Angeles FC had been in place since the end of December, but it faced delays due to commission payment issues with DK Esportes, the agency representing the player. These issues were eventually resolved, leading to Igor Jesus being officially announced by Los Angeles FC with a contract valid for three and a half years. The deal is valued at a total of four million euros, benefiting Flamengo, which owns half of the player's rights, and Estrela da Amadora, which sold 40% of its rights for 1.6 million euros. Estrela da Amadora retains 10% of the rights, anticipating future profit from a subsequent transfer. Igor Jesus expressed his excitement and happiness about the new experience and his eagerness to join his teammates on the field to win titles and make history, according to a video released by LAFC on their social media.
