One day after he made comments about wanting to renew his deal with Los Angeles FC, it appears that Walker Zimmerman will be extending his stay in the shadows of Hollywood.



A source tells The Athletic that Zimmerman, currently in U.S. national team camp in Southern California, is set to sign a new deal with LAFC soon. Zimmerman was a major part of last year’s expansion team, helping anchor a backline that propelled the team into the playoffs.



Out of contract at the end of this past season, Zimmerman had options in Europe that included Israel and Turkey as well as Belgium and Scotland. But his successful integration with LAFC a season ago helped sway the center back to extend his stay in Los Angeles.



The new contract LAFC has offered was likely also a factor. According to a source, the new deal is for four years and is large enough to utilize Targeted Allocation Money (TAM).
