As reported by «TaToTake», the champion of the Western Conference and the third team of MLS in the 2024 season, «Los Angeles» has made an offer to «Polissya» regarding Artem Smolyakov.

During the negotiations, the management of Zhytomyr managed to improve the conditions for the club almost twice: the initial offer from the Americans was just over one million, while the final transfer price is 2 million dollars. «Polissya» also retains a certain percentage of the future resale of the player.
In the event of a transfer, Smolyakov will be able to play in Los Angeles in the same team with Marlon (a former player of «Shakhtar») and Olivier Giroud, who moved from «Milan» to LA last summer.
Currently, negotiations between the clubs are already at the final stage. The terms have been agreed upon by all parties. The final “yes” was personally expressed by the president of «Polissya», Hennadiy Butkevych.
