Overview
- The club confirmed on Oct. 31 that Gallese will leave at contract expiry and issued a farewell video marking the end of his six-season stint.
- Gallese, 35, posted that the decision surprised him and later said coach Óscar Pareja told him he would not be in the plans for 2026.
- He departs as Orlando City’s all-time leader in matches (201), minutes (18,188), saves (568), wins (89) and clean sheets (57).
- Now a free agent, Gallese said he will evaluate proposals and did not rule out Peruvian options, noting his ties with Universitario executive Álvaro Barco, as local reports also mention Alianza Lima interest.
- Media have linked Inter Miami as a possible destination, but coach Javier Mascherano publicly declined to discuss the rumor or confirm any pursuit.
