Alexandru Băluță (31 years old, far right) has not yet arrived in the USA, although it was officially presented by Los Angeles FC on August 26.
The reason? The former FCSB player has not yet received the visa for America, according to journalist Josh Gross.
Băluță has not yet received the US visa
The process of obtaining the visa for the US by Romanian citizens on the territory of Romania can take up to a month and a half, from the first to the last step, if it is not resorted to the start of the emergency procedure.
Băluță signed with LAFC until the end of the season in the MLS, as the Americans announced. If the Los Angeles team qualifies in the play-off, then the season will end in December. Otherwise, the regular season will end in October.
It remains to be seen if Băluță will start playing for the new team. The Romanian also has an option of extension for another season, until the end of 2026.
Băluță's message at the separation of FCSB
Alexandru Băluță signed with the Americans from the position of contract free player, after breaking up with FCSB. He won two titles with the red-blue, and at the end of the adventure he thanked the supporters.
An important chapter for me has been concluded and I can't leave without telling you anything.
During these two years I have lived incredible moments: two champion titles that will always remain in my soul and a memorable European campaign in which I felt what it means to fight with big names in European football and to raise a whole stadium.
Supporters, thank you for every match where you were with me, for every cry in the lawn that gave me power and for receiving me with open arms. It meant enormously to me and I will never forget.
I thank your colleagues and the entire staff for these two years and I wish you to live as many unique moments. Hold the flag up! With respect and gratitude!
PS: health and success
