Rumor: Sporting KC’s Gutierrez Loosely Linked to Ecuador Transfer

Don’t panic. Just because another club wants Felipe, doesn’t mean he wants to go. On Monday, rumors leaked from a radio station — Radio La Red — in Ecuador that Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito were interested in acquiring Sporting Kansas City’s Felipe Gutierrez. The rumor was picked up by FutbolEcuador.com.

According to Google Translate:

“...the board of the Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito is working on the arrival of a heavyweight to occupy the front-line position in 2020; year in which they will have Copa Libertadores and Professional League.”

Apparently the club is having trouble keeping their current start, Jefferson Orejuela, who is on loan from Fluminense in Brazil.
