2021 Orlando City Season in Review: Matheus Aiás

Once considered a potential long-term depth option at striker, Aiás only appeared in Orlando City’s first two matches this season before the club loaned him to Spanish second division side Real Oviedo on July 4. The deal includes an option to buy his contract at the loan’s conclusion on June 30, 2022.

Orlando City acquired him Aug. 21, 2020 via transfer for an undiscolsed fee from Watford and signed him to a two-and-a-half year contract. After appearing for a total of 18 minutes over four matches off the bench in 2020, he was slotted to provide another option at forward in 2021 but never climbed the depth chart.
