Club America have rejected a bid from Orlando City SC
for U.S. international winger Alejandro Zendejas, sources tell GIVEMESPORT.
Talks are currently stalled as Club America focus on whether manager Andre Jardine is staying, as he’s linked with Brazilian club Botafogo. As such, Orlando have prioritized other targets.
Preseason opens for MLS clubs in less than two weeks. Orlando’s first match of 2024 is on February 22.
Orlando are looking for another attacking star to use their open designated player spot on after transferring Uruguay international winger Facundo Torres to Palmeiras.
