The Seattle Sounders have traded midfielder Georgi Minoungou to the Colorado Rapids. In this video, we break down the full details of the deal — including the GAM and players involved — what Minoungou brought to Seattle, what this means for the Sounders roster going forward, and why Colorado made this move.Georgi Minoungou came up through Tacoma Defiance and developed into one of the most exciting dribblers in MLS. The 23-year-old Burkina Faso international tallied 2 goals and 4 assists across 32 appearances for Seattle in 2025, won the Leagues Cup, and earned 9 caps for Les Étalons — including a goal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. We dig into the stats, the context, and what comes next for both clubs.
