In case you forgot that there’s no such thing as a stress-free transaction whenever a sizable transfer fee is involved, consider this your reminder. Despite the Seattle Sounders and Derlis Gonzalez basically agreeing to personal terms, Dynamo Kiev hasn’t been able to settle on a transfer fee. As a result, the Sounders have walked away from negotiations, at least according to a report from Somos Sounders.
If this is all starting to sound very familiar, that’s probably because you’re old enough to remember last summer’s negotiations over Nicolas Lodeiro’s move to the Sounders.
