CRISTIAN TELLO NEWS

Contract negotiations ongoing Tello's contract option for 2023 was declined by LAFC, but the club is expected to reach an agreement with the player for a new deal moving forward.

Impact Tello was an ineffective Designated Player for LAFC as he only made five appearances off the bench after joining the 2022 MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield winners from Real Betis in the summer. The 31-year-old is expected to stay with the club for another season, but he will likely remain a backup option for the most part.

Comes off bench in season finale Tello played the final five minutes or so of last week's scoreless draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Tello tallied two goals and two assists in 23 La Liga appearances (five starts) as the backup to Juanmi on the left wing this season, but the 30-year-old is set to become a free agent in the summer after five campaigns with Real Betis if no new deal is agreed upon.

Scores off bench in win Tello scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Tello was brought in the 77th minute to replace Juanmi and made an immediate impact, drawing things level at 1-1 with a well-placed shot from outside the box just one minute later. This was the second goal of the season for the winger and he'll hope this helps him to keep getting playing time during Friday's visit to Real Sociedad.

Scores once as substitute Tello had one goal on six shots (three on target), one cross, one foul, created one chance and sustained one foul in the 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Impact After replacing Andres Guardado in the 11th minute, Tello was ready to put his stamp on this match. His goal, the only one for his side, came just before the first half's whistle with the assist from Youssouf Sabaly. The midfielder has not had consistent playing time, and depending on Andres Guardado's condition, he may not make an appearance in the next match against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Tello made just his fifth start of the season, but was one of Betis' few positives on the offensive end, being involved in some dangerous plays, including a shot from the left flank that was miraculously saved by the opposing goalkeeper during the second half. The winger, who even provided some defensive help here, will hope this performance helps him to remain in the lineup for Sunday's clash against Atletico Madrid.

Records assist against Barcelona Tello subbed into Saturday's match against Barcelona in the 63rd minute, and he took a shot and assisted a goal in the 1-0 victory.

Impact Tello grabbed his first assist of the season in setting up Juanmi's late winner on Saturday. He only has one La Liga start all season, but maybe this performance might help convince manager Manuel Pellegrini to give him another look in the XI.

Sent off in win Tello was sent off after conceding two yellow cards during Saturday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Tello will likely be suspended for the first match next season as punishment. Before that happened, Tello scored five goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances (12 starts). His chances of locking down a starting role may not be the highest, but the presence of Real Betis in Europe could open up more opportunities in the long run.

Takes four shots in draw Tello had four shots (one on target) and created one chance during Thursday's 1-1 draw against Eibar.

Impact Tello was back into the starting XI after three matches and had his moments here, making some dangerous plays from the left flank and being very close to extending Betis' lead during the first half. He'll hope this performance helps his case in a fight for a starting spot next Sunday, when his side hosts Huesca.
