Orlando City has traded Egyptian international center back Amro Tarek to the New York Red Bulls for a fourth-round selection in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft. That’s it. That’s all the Lions got for a guy who was, at times, the team’s best center back in 2018.
Aside from a rough patch upon his return from the Egyptian Men’s National Team when he’d been left off the World Cup roster, Tarek played well this past season, starting and ending the year strong. He made 20 appearances with Orlando City this season (19 starts) after being loaned from Egyptian side Wadi Degla with an option to purchase back on Feb.
