Italian soccer star Sebastian Giovinco blasted
Toronto FC management on Wednesday night,
saying he doesn’t trust the MLS team to tell the
truth about his departure and that he was willing
to take less money to stay in the city.
“They may say I left for a more lucrative deal, but
this is not the case,” Giovinco said in a lengthy
Instagram post. “I would have accepted less to
stay in Toronto.”
Toronto FC announced Wednesday that they have
transferred their all-time leading scorer Giovinco
to the Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
Giovinco said he has been trying to get a contract
extension for two years without success.
“I can say that I wanted it to end differently,” he
said. “I was offered terms that I deemed
unacceptable. Their offer and lack of transparency
is a clear message. It seems management prefers
to focus on things other than the pure desire to
win.”
The Canadian and US media reported that the
Saudi Professional League team paid a transfer
fee of between $2 million and $3 million.
Giovinco departs as the Reds’ leading scorer
across all competitions with 83 goals.
“After having grown the brand and elevating the
overall reputation of TFC both at home and
abroad, it seems I no longer serve a purpose,” he
bristled.
The 32-year-old Giovinco, who is known as a
potent scorer and free kick specialist, was in the
last year of his MLS contract.
“Replacing a player like Sebastian is difficult,”
said Toronto GM Ali Curtis. “But we are working
diligently and are confident that we will be adding
a new designated player in the near future.”
Giovinco originally joined Toronto in 2015 from
Juventus, of Italy’s Serie A and has been an
offensive force from the beginning, winning the
MLS MVP award along with the Newcomer of the
Year award in 2015.
