Transfer Rumor: Orlando City Linked with Uruguayan Defender José Aja

Orlando City has been linked with another defender, this time from Uruguay in 23-year-old center back José Aja. The young defender has been under contract with Nacional, the most popular and famous club in Uruguay, since 2014 but spent the recent Clausura season playing for fellow Primera Division side Racing Club de Montevideo this year.

The rumor has grown legs since, with WFTV's Christian Bruey getting confirmation from his unnamed sources.
