To say the Sounders got away with one in recent days while letting another one get away is putting it mildly.
The sheer joy of the team winning at Minnesota last Saturday with what was their latest-ever comeback victory was tempered Tuesday by news they’d lost potential signee Paolo Hurtado to a club from Turkey. Peruvian midfielder Hurtado had flown in to Seattle late last week to speed along negotiations with the Sounders, who ultimately could not meet the transfer fee his Portuguese side received from Konyaspor in the Turkish first division.
Sounders general manager Garth Lagerwey was not immediately available for comment.
