Sebastian Giovinco will not be suiting up for Toronto FC this season. Interim manager Terry Dunfield confirmed on Friday that the team has not offered a contract to their former star forward ahead of Major League Soccer's roster freeze later in the evening.
"My thoughts are that if we were just looking for a nice moment, a nice feeling for our fans, for Seba, we probably could've pulled the trigger on a deal," Dunfield said ."But in my opinion, that's not Seba. I think Seba wants to come back and be impactful and really make a difference. At this stage, he's probably, realistically, two or three weeks away for roster selection. Unfortunately, this year we've run out of time.
A native of Torino, Giovinco joined the Reds from Juventus in 2015 and went on to make 114 league appearances over four seasons, scoring 68 goals. An MLS All-Star in all four seasons, Giovinco was instrumental in the team's treble-winning season of 2017 in which TFC captured the Canadian Championship, Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup.
Internationally, Giovinco was capped 23 times by Italy and was a member of the team's 2012 Euro squad.
