Venezuelan attacker David Martínez is transferring from Los Angeles FC to 1. FC Köln. The attacker will play his final match for the MLS club against the Seattle Sounders on Monday. Köln plans to officially present the 20-year-old as a new signing in July. A transfer fee is necessary because Martínez has a contract in Los Angeles until the end of 2027, but the amount has not been disclosed. The left-footed player, who has a preference for the right wing but is also able to play on the left or centrally, moved to the US from his home country in 2024 for 3.2 million euros and scored nine goals in 21 appearances this season. He has 5 caps for Venezuela and a current Transfermarkt market value of €4.00m.
