“I am happy (for him) because if he made the decision to come here, it is because he believed that this was the most important thing for him, for his life, for his family, for his future,” he said at a press conference. of the LA Galaxy.
“So, I’m very happy. He’s a great player and he’s going to help the league a lot. Obviously it’s going to be very difficult when we face the Houston Dynamo because they acquire a very important player,” he added.
Mexican international Héctor Herrera signed an agreement on Wednesday to sign for the Houston Dynamo, Quintero’s team, starting next July, when the season of his current club, Atlético de Madrid, ends. Herrera, 31 years old and LaLiga champion with Atlético de Madrid, signed a contract until 2024 with an option for one more year, until 2025, the Houston Dynamo reported in an official statement.
