Colorado Rapids in negotiations with Man City for Bismark Adjei-Boatang by Sean Curtis

Sounders’ midfielder Lodeiro joked with reporters saying he could convince current Barcelona striker and Uruguayan National team star Luis Suarez to join Seattle.

In a recent interview with reporters, Seattle Sounder Nicolas Lodeiro told reporters that his Uruguayan teammate Luis Suarez is only a phone call away from joining Lodeiro in Seattle:

Nico Lodeiro: Uruguayan buddy Luis Suarez "is only a phone call away" from joining @SoundersFC. — Paul Kennedy (@pkedit) January 17, 2017

Sounders fans should not start drooling over the idea of Suarez becoming their starting striker, though. Lodeiro was obviously joking with the media when he made this comment, since most of the interview was very light-hearted to start with. Within the same conversation Lodeiro made the Suarez comment was who on the team had the worst music choice:

Me: "Who in [@SoundersFC] locker room has the worst taste in music?" Lodeiro: "@Jmosmooth13. I don't even know what it is." — Richard Farley (@richardfarley) January 17, 2017

Though Suarez isn’t going to join the Seattle Sounders anytime soon (or coming to the MLS), Lodeiro did say he is going nowhere anytime soon-something for Sounders fans to actually get excited about.
