Sounders Near Blockbuster Joveljic Signing in $6M MLS Trade
Seattle Sounders are closing in on a $6 million cash-for-player deal to sign Dejan Joveljic from Sporting KC, a move that would be among the club’s biggest transfers. Joveljic, 27, has over 100 professional goals and posted 21 goals and 8 assists in a recent MLS season, drawing favorable comparisons to Raúl Ruidíaz (with some analytics skepticism). The sale appears tied to Sporting KC leadership changes and a roster rebuild, with terms reportedly lined up pending final confirmation.
