Lucas AgustÃÂn Sanabria Magolé (born 26 December 2003) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer.
Born in Florida, Sanabria began playing football aged eight with Nacional de Florida. Aged 17, he arrived at Nacional of Montevideo. He played two seasons in the fourth team, and one in the third team, under ÃÂlvaro Recoba.
Sanabria signed a professional contract in January 2024. He made his debut in the Uruguayan Primera División on 16 February 2024, starting in a 2âÂÂ1 home win over River Plate Montevideo, and five days later he scored his first goal to open a 2âÂÂ0 win away to Academia Puerto Cabello of Venezuela in the Copa Libertadores.
In April 2024, Sanabria missed some matches, which manager ÃÂlvaro Recoba credited to tendonitis. He scored his first goal on 23 June in a 4âÂÂ0 win away to Cerro Largo, heading before half time. In July, with his contract lasting until December 2026, he was linked with a move to the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer.
On 8 February 2025, Sanabria signed a five-year deal with LA Galaxy, reigning holders of the MLS Cup. He was allocated one of the club's under-22 slots. The transfer fee was US$5 million, with Nacional to receive US$1.8 million more if conditional clauses were met, in addition to 20% of the next transfer fee. Nacional president Flavio Perchman revealed that the club owned only 60% of Sanabria's economic rights to begin with, which he considered "something unusual".
Sanabria made his debut on 23 February in a 2âÂÂ0 home loss to new MLS club San Diego FC, and in the following game, he suffered a collarbone injury against Vancouver Whitecaps FC and was ruled out for over a month. On 31 May, he scored his first goal to open a 2âÂÂ0 home win over Real Salt Lake, as the Galaxy ended a 16-game winless start to the season that was the worst in MLS history.
In October 2024, Sanabria was called up to the Uruguay national team by manager Marcelo Bielsa, ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Ecuador.
Sanabria is the younger brother of footballer Juan Manuel Sanabria. He remained living with his family in Florida while playing for Nacional, commuting 75 minutes.
