Sources have told Paul Tenorio, Jeff Rueter, and Pablo Maurer of The Athletic that Orlando City majority owner Flavio Augusto da Silva is in discussions with the Wilf family ($) to purchase a stake in the club. While it’s unknown how much of the club they would be purchasing, it’s believed that it would be a majority stake.
Buying into MLS is not unusual for the Wilf family. The owners of the Minnesota Vikings attempted to start an expansion franchise in Minneapolis, eventually given to Dr. Bill McGuire and Minnesota United of the NASL.
