According to Uruguayan outlet Deportivo Ovación, Nacional central defender José Aja will join Orlando City on loan, with the MLS club having an option to buy. The loan follows reports yesterday that the 23-year-old was not in the future plans of the Primera Division club and was on his way to MLS.
Aja has been with Nacional, the most popular club in Uruguay, since 2014, though he played the recent Clausura season with fellow Primera Division club Racing Club de Montevideo. Aja made 12 appearances for Racing, scoring two goals and assisting once in 1,278 minutes of play.
