A week after parting ways with center back Emiliano Amor, Sporting Kansas City is on the verge of replenishing its depth chart at the position.
The club is pursuing Spanish center back Andreu Fontas, a source told The Star. There remain formalities to work through — financial and otherwise — before an agreement is reached, despite a report in Spain that the deal has been completed. But the two sides are moving in a positive direction.
“There’s nothing concrete on any player movement from our team at this point,” Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes said Tuesday. Asked about the prospects of acquiring Fontas specifically, Vermes repeated the same line.
