Not only will the Seattle Sounders be bringing back most of their 2021 roster this year, but many of their key players are already signed for 2023. Two more players are likely to be added to that list soon.
Raúl Ruidíaz and João Paulo are both close enough to finalizing contract extensions that a source told Sounder at Heart an announcement could be made as soon as this week. The discussions were first reported by The Athletic on Friday and Niko Moreno even indicated that João Paulo’s new deal through 2024 is already completed.
