Transfer Rumor: Orlando City Linked to Brazilian Midfielder/Right Back

The silly season is upon us even as Portland and Atlanta prepare to settle things for MLS Cup. The first major rumor involving Orlando City this season comes to us from UOL Esporte, one of the biggest websites in Brazil. According to the site, Orlando City leads for the services of Vasco da Gama midfielder/right back Glaybson Yago Souza Lisboa, known commonly as Yago Pikachu.

The excellently named Pikachu, a nickname given due to his speed and small stature (5-foot-6), has been with the Serie A side since 2016 and is coming off as season in which he scored 19 goals across all competitions, including 10 in league play, four in the State Championship, four in Copa Libertadores, and one in the Brazilian Cup.
