After 10 years with the Seattle Sounders, Osvaldo Alonso is now a free agent. Originally a discovery signing out of the USL, Alonso will almost certainly need to take a pay cut wherever he ends up and possibly even a bigger one to remain in Seattle. As Alonso learns the market, the Sounders will be able to maintain contact to see if there is a price and role that suits their budget and 2019 desires.
While other players of comparable quality have tested MLS free agency, Alonso could become the highest profile one to actually switch teams.
