2021 could be the year that sees Seattle Sounders and USMNT winger Jordan Morris making his way to Europe. According to Morris, several European teams expressed interest in his services, and he would consider the move if the “right offer” came his way.
This would be the perfect time for Morris to take his career further, as he is coming off his best season as a pro. The 26-year-old player played 22 games with the Sounders in 2020, scoring 10 goals and having a career-high eight assists. He also added a goal and assist in the playoffs, helping Seattle reach the MLS Cup finals for the second consecutive season.
“Definitely some conversations are ongoing with Seattle, and in Europe, a little bit and I think that, for me, it’s a similar stance of where I was before MLS Cup: If the right offer and the right team comes forward, it’s something that I’d be interested in,” Morris told reporters during a video chat earlier this week.
Morris added that he also wouldn’t mind staying with the Sounders and believes the quality of soccer in the MLS is rapidly increasing.
Jordan Morris spent his entire career with the Seattle Sounders, joining the club’s academy in 2012. During his time with the organization, he took part in two MLS Cup wins while also claiming several individual awards, including an MLS Best XI selection in 2020.
Morris is also a member of the United States men’s national team. He made his debut in 2014 and has since played 39 games in which he scored 10 goals.
