It would appear as though Fredy Montero's game-winner on Saturday was a bit of a parting gift for Sporting CP. Reports out of Portugal and Colombia are independently claiming Montero has been transferred to Chinese club Tianjin Teda, a team that narrowly avoided relegation last season. The Chinese Super League's campaign roughly mirrors MLS, starting in March and ending in November.
The move is a bit of a weird one, as Sporting CP will receive journeyman Argentine striker Hernan Barcos as well as about €5 million. Montero has apparently agreed to a contract with his new club.
