Orlando City Acquires Defender Léo Pereira on Loan from OCB

In one of the stranger transactions you’ll see this season, Orlando City has acquired defender Léo Pereira on a season-long loan from Orlando City B. It’s not often an MLS team gets a loan from its USL reserve team, especially when it’s a player that was on loan to the reserve side in the first place. Pereira was originally loaned to OCB from Clube Atlético Paranaense, Orlando City's partner club in Brazil, back on March 14. Pereira, 21, occupies an international roster spot, which was opened yesterday when the club waived midfielder Danny Deakin.
