Jose Cifuentes was mysteriously left out of the Los Angeles FC squad amidst reports his switch to Rangers is edging closer.
The Ecuadorian international has been on Michael Beale's radar with a transfer saga unfolding across the summer. Cifuentes is a key man for the MLS side and has just six months remaining on his contract in California. But Rangers are set to prize him on a move to Glasgow before he season kicks off in August.
And the 24-year-old was a shock omission as LAFC were beaten by rivals FC Dallas. The previous Celtic target has spoken of his desire to move to Scotland and he wasn't included in this morning's defeat away to Dallas. The whereabouts of the midfield battler prompted an array of questions from the press to LAFC boss Steve Cherundolo.
