The 27-year-old Argentina international was a leading figure when the Porte Alegre side became the first Brazilian club to win the continental title earlier this month.

Internacional vice-president confirmed the Galaxy made enquiries about D’Alessandro in November but their interest was quickly nipped in the bud.

“The offer came from the Los Angeles Galaxy of the United States. I didn’t even want to listen to the details,” Carvalho commented.

“The offer was for more money than we paid for D’Alessandro, who arrived here for five million euros, but we want to keep the Argentinian.”
