Canadian Soccer News has confirmed that Nathan Sturgis is being shopped. Yesterday, the Reds were close to a deal with Seattle to return Sturgis back to the North-West.
Sturgis had his most successful year in 2010, starting the majority of the Sounders games.
Seattle needs cap relief and were looking to move a combination or all of David Estrada, Miguel Montaño and Mike Fucito. All three are playing limited minutes for Seattle. However, TFC sees promise in the three relatively young athletes.
The Sounder cannot afford Sturgis, who is on an $89,250 salary, without receiving allocation back in the deal and Toronto was not willing to part with any causing the deal to fall apart.
However, it’s likely that Sturgis’ days with TFC are numbered and the club remains active in its efforts to move him.
