Orlando City Hold Talks With Richarlison’s Camp Over Potential 2026 MLS Move

The outreach is exploratory, pointing to a possible switch in the 2026 summer window rather than an immediate transfer.

Overview

  • Senior Orlando City officials, including director Ricardo Moreira, traveled to London to meet Richarlison’s representatives, according to reports citing Sky Sports.
  • The proposal outlined a long-term project that would position the Brazilian forward as a focal figure, with summer 2026 identified as the target timeline.
  • ESPN reports Orlando previously explored a deal that did not progress, with a potential €40 million fee cited as an obstacle.
  • Richarlison remains under contract at Tottenham until June 2027 and has been featuring regularly under head coach Thomas Frank this season.
  • Multiple outlets characterize the conversations as initial contact with nothing imminent, even as MLS clubs step up pursuits of high-profile players.
