Sounders FC's Nelson Valdez takes to social media shuts down transfer rumors

Sounders FC midfielder/forward Nelson Valdez took to social media on Sunday night to shoot down lingering rumors that he was on the move to a South American club, insisting that's not headed out of Seattle anytime soon.

Valdez has been linked to a potential move to two Colombian sides in recent days, with Indepiendente Medellin reportedly leading the charge to land the Paraguayan international. Valdez joined the Sounders as a Designated Player last August and, despite battling injuries that limited some of his minutes after his arrival, scored one goal in seven regular-apperarances and added another in three postseason games.
