Orlando City is looking to finalize a deal that’ll bring former Manchester United winger Nani to Central Florida, a league source confirmed to Pro Soccer USA.
The deal isn’t done yet, but Nani would join Orlando City from Sporting CP in Portugual, where he made 18 league appearances this season, scoring seven goals to go with four assists.
Multiple Portuguese outlets first reported the news of Nani’s departure from Sporting. Paul Tenorio from The Athletic reported Nani will be brought to the club as a designated player.
Orlando City already has three designated players in striker Dom Dwyer and midfielders Josué Colmán and Sacha Kljestan.
