MLS wonderkid snubs transfer interest with record-breaking new Orlando City contract

Orlando City star Facundo Torres has signed a new long-term deal with the Major League Soccer side, which could eventually see him leave for a league-record fee.

Torres has been exceptional ever since joining Orlando in January 2022, when he arrived for a club-record fee of £7.5million ($9m) from Uruguayan side Penarol. Torres scored nine goals in 33 MLS appearances last season, and scored the only goal of the game against New York Red Bulls on Sunday to get them off to a winning start in the 2023 campaign.

There has been heaps of interest reported in the Uruguayan, who was just over a year into his four-year deal as their Young Designated Player. But he's now agreed a long-term contract extension, raising his stock even further.
