A deal to send Orlando City midfielder Yoshimar Yotún to Liga MX side Cruz Azul is done. The transfer is worth $4 million, league sources confirmed to Pro Soccer USA.
Yotún, a Peruvian international who played in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and was Orlando City’s only 2018 MLS all-star, led the Lions in 2018 with 10 assists in league play. He also had four goals for the club.
Orlando City SC received a proposal from Cruz Azul last week via Yotún and his agent, a club source told Pro Soccer USA. Mexican outlet Récord — which reported a deal was close — had the proposal valued at $3.
