Nothing is quite official yet, but all signs are currently pointing to the Seattle Sounders missing out on signing Peruvian Paolo Hurtado. Reports out of Peru suggest the midfielder has already passed a physical and will soon be announced as a Konyaspor player. It appears as though the Turkish club came in with a €1.8 million transfer offer and may have offered better personal terms than the Sounders.
Although Sounder at Heart has not been able to independently confirm all of this, Niko Moreno’s reporting gives these reports a fair amount of credence.
To those of you asking, yes Hurtado has left Seattle and is currently in Turkey.
