FULHAM EYES FREDY MONTERO


FULHAM are keeping tabs on Colombia striker Fredy Montero.

The 21-year-old, who plays his club football in the USA with Seattle Sounders, has scored nine goals in his past 15 games.

Montero has already won three caps for his country and had a trial with Real Betis last season.

I don't mind MLS players getting snatched up by bigger leagues.
It proves that there is some talent in MLS.
I just look forward to the day when we can produce quality players, and keep them!

too bad seattle wont be getting a transfer fee out of it, or does seattle have an option to buy montero?

I thought that MLS rules were that if you took a player on loan, you had to have a right to acquire the player...for how much and under what conditions I dont know. That is what I had heard when we got Vitti...if anyone knows more I would be curious to find out the answer...

I am pretty sure MLS/Seattle will get a transfer fee...(nvm he is on loan from Colombia)

I would have like to see Montero play for a few more season in the MLS... oh well

He's owned by his agent's company, I believe, like Tevez.

From wiki... take it with a grain of salt:

Unconfirmed reports suggest Montero is owned by a third-party[2], and not Deportivo Cali, an arrangement which FIFA does not allow. Other South American strikers like Carlos Tévez[10] and Jô have entered into similar controversial agreements in the past.[11]
