According to the Italian website gianlucadimarzio.com, Orlando City could soon be making a move for Schalke 04’s midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Di Marzio reports Kaka recently contacted Kevin Prince Boateng to convince him to consider a move to Orlando, since he’s been having a few issues with his German club.

The 2 players were teammates at AC Milan during Kaka’s second stint at the Italian club and it is said that Kaka would welcome a move to Orlando for Boateng.

Other MLS teams and Galatasaray have also been linked to a possible transfer of Boateng, but Kaka’s influence could make Orlando City the front runner.

Last season Boateng made 24 appearances for Schalke 04, 16 of those as a starter, with no goals and 4 assists.
