A Bola reports that FC Porto officialized this Friday the loan of Eustáquio to Los Angeles FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) until June 30, 2026. Los Angeles FC has a purchase option of 7.25 million euros for 100% of Eustáquio's economic rights, and his salary will be fully paid by the North American club. The decision was influenced by Eustáquio's limited use this season and the arrival of Seko Fofana at FC Porto. Eustáquio sought new challenges to maintain prominence before the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Canadian international Stephen Eustáquio, a 29-year-old central midfielder, is leaving FC Porto and his official announcement as a Los Angeles FC player is expected shortly. He joined Porto in July 2022 for a fee of €3.5 million, with his contract running until 2027. The midfielder has 54 caps and 4 goals for Canada, and in the current Liga Portugal season, he has made 8 appearances. Transfermarkt lists his current market value as €7.00m. A July 2024 report mentioned his contract contained a €60 million release clause.
