The Galaxy are closing in on a deal that would bring Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, Mexico’s all-time leading scorer, to MLS on a franchise-record transfer. “I think he could be good for us,” Te Kloese said. It’s unlikely the Galaxy could land Hernandez for less than $10 million given what Sevilla paid for Hernandez last summer. But $10 million would be a record fee for the Galaxy, topping the $7 million the team paid for Giovani dos Santos in 2015. The Galaxy are looking for Hernandez to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the lineup and as the public face of the franchise.
