MLS champions LA Galaxy are keen to bring back Brazilian midfielder Juninho for the 2013 season.
The 23-year old has spent the past three seasons on loan with the Galaxy and has helped the club to back-to-back titles during his stay.
Galaxy boss Bruce Arena admitted that the club is hoping to again sign Juninho but whether that is on another loan or permanently remains to be seen.
"We've been working (on bringing him back) for a while," Arena said. "We'll keep working on it. We're hopeful we can bring him back."
Juninho has made over 100 league appearances for LA, scoring 15 goals, including nine this season as well as six assists.
