Fredy Montero loves Seattle, there’s no question about that. He married a local woman, moved his family here and even continues to own a home in Bellevue. In the past, he’s indicated that he’d like to play for the Seattle Sounders again, someday.
We don’t know for sure that he’d have preferred to be here instead of with the Vancouver Whitecaps, but a reasonable person can come to that conclusion.
During his first public interview with the Whitecaps, Montero did his best to put his best foot forward. He talked about how badly he wanted to return to MLS and how much respect he had for the Whitecaps organization.
