Sounders were targeting Peru’s Renato Tapia

Although the rumor mil has not been generating many stories linking the Rave Green to potential signings, that doesn’t mean Chris Henderson and his team of scouts aren’t constantly looking at players.

With the summer transfer window now open, I’m at least confident in identifying one of the candidates on Seattle’s target list. A few days ago I was told by a reliable source that Seattle had shown significant interest in Renato Tapia, one of Peru’s most promising players. Tapia is a rangy midfielder, with great pace and subpar passing skills who is primarily a defensive player, broadly fitting the type of midfielder Seattle had been looking for since the last transfer window.
