Sporting KC reaches deal with Spanish defender

During a week in which it bolstered its offense with the return of Krisztian Nemeth, Sporting Kansas City cemented a transfer addition to its back line.

Sporting KC has signed Spanish center back Andreu Fontas to a multi-year contract, a source told The Star. The club has acquired Fontas’ rights on a free transfer, the source said.

Fontas, 28, has not yet joined the team in Kansas City, with a holdup in his international paperwork preventing his arrival. But the completion of his contract will make the addition official before the transfer window closes Wednesday, even if the paperwork is not yet secured by that date.
