Los Angeles Galaxy was a serious option for 35-year-old Belgian international centre-forward Christian Benteke, and they were one of several interested MLS clubs, along with New York City FC, Minnesota Timberwolves, and CF Montréal. However, a move to any of these clubs was not feasible because the salary cap prevented them from meeting Benteke's wage demands. The D.C. United player has 45 caps and 18 goals for Belgium. His current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
