It appears as though Magnus Wolff Eikrem has played his final match for the Seattle Sounders. The Norwegian midfielder is expected to be waived by the Sounders on Friday, Sounder at Heart has learned. Although the exact details of the move were not yet known, it is believed that Wolff’s contract was guaranteed and therefore would continue to count against the salary cap. By waiving Wolff, the Sounders at least open an international roster spot, clearing the way to add another foreign player using Targeted Allocation Money.
When he was signed at the start of the season, the expectation was that Wolff would give the Sounders an additional offensive weapon.
