Orlando City Hits Impasse With Pedro Gallese and Weighs Wilder Cartagena Call for 2026

Salary terms remain unresolved as reported MLS interest, including Inter Miami, grows.

Overview

  • Gallese’s deal runs through December 2025 and multiple outlets report negotiations over a pay rise have stalled with Orlando City.
  • Journalists say several MLS clubs have asked about Gallese’s availability, with Inter Miami identified as an interested suitor, though no formal talks are confirmed.
  • El Comercio and other reports indicate Orlando and Gallese are far apart on money, increasing the likelihood he explores options once the MLS window opens in January.
  • Sources cited in Peruvian and U.S. media say Gallese prefers to continue abroad and is not considering a return to Peru at this time.
  • Midfielder Wilder Cartagena, out all year with an Achilles rupture and also out of contract in December, will be assessed on his recovery as Orlando sets its 2026 roster.
