San Diego FC rewards Luca Bombino with multi-year extension

Key Highlights

• “He has consistently demonstrated quality, professionalism, and an understanding of our identity as a club.
• We see Luca as an important part of our sporting project, and this extension reflects the trust we have in Luca, both as a player and as a person.”Bombino originally arrived in San Diego on Feb.
• 25, 2025, on a season-long loan from LAFC in exchange for a 2025 international roster slot, with San Diego holding a permanent transfer option.
• At the time, the 18-year-old was viewed as a promising but relatively unproven prospect, despite his extensive academy background and youth international experience. By the end of the season, he had become much more than that. Bombino made 32 appearances across all competitions during the 2025 campaign, starting 30 matches and logging significant minutes in league play, Leagues Cup and the MLS Cup Playoffs.
• He finished the season with two goals and three assists, including five playoff starts and an assist during San Diego’s postseason run.
