Re-signs with LAFC Marlon re-signed with LAFC until June 30, 2025, having an option for the rest of the 2025 campaign and 2026 season, according to his club.

Impact Marlon will be sticking around LAFC after finally reaching an agreement in transfer talks, as he initially had his contract declined before inking the new contract Tuesday. He will only be on contract for half of the season, with the club having the option to keep him for the remainder of the season and the 2026 season, which will be a tough decision as he will occupy an international roster spot. He only started in two of his seven appearances with the club last campaign.
