Sporting Kansas City, Olympiakos and Andre Luiz
Monday
Sporting Kansas City have reached a verbal agreement to sign Brazilian attacker Andre Luiz from Olympiakos for an initial $18m. Performance-based add-ons could raise the package further, potentially making it one of the largest transfers in MLS history.
The parties still need to finalise contractual details and complete the paperwork. Luiz would become the marquee addition in Sporting Kansas City’s extensive rebuild under sporting director David Lee and head coach Rapha Wicky after a poor conference campaign.
