Orlando City SC is about to make the first move to strengthen the team’s back line ahead of the 2020 Major League Soccer season. The Mane Land’s sources have confirmed reports out of Brazil that the Lions are nearing a deal with Brazilian center back Antônio Carlos from Palmeiras. The agreement was first reported by Brazilian website Globoesporte.com but at this time there is no signed contract and obviously anything can still happen.
Once the final details are hashed out, the 26-year-old Carlos will join the Lions on a one-year loan contract from Palmeiras — his rights are shared by the Brazilian giants and another Brazilian club, Tombense.
