This evening (UK time), Orlando City SC officially announced their updated first team roster following the end of the 2020 Major League Soccer campaign.

The first comprehensive evidence as to who is staying, potentially remaining and departing Exploria Stadium before 2021, the names in the ‘option declined’ column weren’t so surprising.

With Josué Colmán, Alex De John, Santiago Patiño and Robinho the names on the ‘option declined’ list, it’s worth noting that Orlando City SC may renegotiate new contracts for players on this list should they see fit.

For some reason, Brian Rowe was missing from the 30 names stated in Orlando City SC’s official release today.
