Transfer Rumor: Orlando City Linked with Brazilian Attacking Midfielder Diego Ribas

Another week in the off-season and another transfer rumor for Orlando City. This time it’s GloboEsporte.com reporting that the Lions have made an offer for Flamengo star attacking midfielder and Brazil international Diego Ribas da Cunha (more commonly known as Diego Ribas, or simply Diego).

This seems unlikely, given Orlando’s current contract, Designated Player, and salary cap situations, but it’s possible if Yoshimar Yotún forces a rumored move to Liga MX side Cruz Azul. It would also be an addition of another older player as Diego is set to turn 34 at the end of February.
