A minority owner in MLS side Sporting Kansas City has completed a deal to purchase a majority stake in the club from its current owners, a source confirmed to ESPN. Sporting KC has been owned by the Illig family since 2006, but according to the source they are selling a 71 percent stake to minority owner Peter Mallouk, who already owns part of the team, to bring his stake up to 80 percent.
