[MLS SPOTLIGHT] While no deal has announced, Fredy Montero confirmed Wednesday that he will be leaving the Seattle Sounders after four years, presumably on loan to Colombian club Millonarios with some kind of option to buy, as has been rumored in recent weeks. The 25-year-old forward, who scored 47 goals in the regular season but no goals in 10 playoff games over four seasons, tweeted a note in which he thanked everyone for four "unforgettable years." He singled out GM and co-owner Adrian Hanauer for his “unconditional support.” Montero, whose wife is American, closed by saying he'd be back.

Fellow Colombian Carlos Valdes could also be headed to South America on loan, though likely for a shorter duration. Several clubs entered in the Libertadores are interested in signing the Philadelphia Union defensive standout who has the incentive of showing himself off to Colombian national team coaches.
