Blackburn Rovers fullback Michel Salgado is in Los Angeles for talks with LA Galaxy.
The Independent says the 36-year-old former Real Madrid defender has given up on playing for Steve Kean's team again.
Despite declaring himself fit last month, he was given five days off and has not appeared since Blackburn's defeat at Sunderland on 21 December. His effective removal from Ewood Park is part of the club owners' desire to remove higher-earning players from the squad.
