Superstar forward Denis Bouanga signs new LAFC contract | OneFootball

LAFC superstar Denis Bouanga has put pen to paper on a new deal with the Western Conference, putting to bed transfers rumors swirling around the Gabon forward. 

The 31-year-old has committed his future to the Black and Gold through the 2029/30 campaign after strong reports suggested he could be on his way to Brazil's top-flight this winter. 

Bouanga has been one of the most prolific scorers in MLS since joining LAFC in 2022, bagging 66 goals and 21 assists in the league during his SoCal spell.

“At this club, performance matters,” said LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington. "Denis has delivered at an elite level with historic consistency since the day he arrived, and he has helped us win multiple trophies."

"This new contract reflects that. We’re proud of what he’s accomplished here and are motivated to continue building on that success together.”

Bouanga, along with superstar forward partner Son Heung-min, started the 2026 campaign off in style, opening the season with a 3-0 win over reigning champions Inter Miami over the weekend.
