As LAFC prepares to kick off its 2023 MLS playoff run against Vancouver Whitecaps, the club’s owners are also thinking about their next move, which would involve a European soccer team.

According to Bloomberg, the ownership group, which includes minority shareholders Will Ferrell, ex-footballer Mia Hamm and NBA legend Earvin Magic Johnson, is interested in acquiring a club from the Swiss league.

The club they are looking at is Grasshoppers Zurich, a team that is not going through its best spell, and the LAFC owners see it as a great opportunity to take over the club and take it to the next level.
