Toronto FC has left designated player Lorenzo Insigne unprotected in the MLS expansion draft, knowing the Italian star's big-ticket salary will likely deter expansion San Diego FC.
Toronto has elected to protect fellow Italian designated player Federico Bernardeschi, whose salary of US$6295 million ranked fifth in the league. CF Montreal did not protect designated player Victor Wanyama, a 33-year-old midfielder whose contract expires at the end of the year. Wanyama saw action in just 12 league games this season and last played May 12 in a Canadian Championship outing.
Angel is the son of former Colombia star Juan Pablo Angel, who played in MLS for the New York Red Bulls, Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA as well as Aston Villa in England, Atletico Nacional in Colombia and River Plate in Argentina. Clubs that lose a player in Wednesday's expansion draft will receive US$50,000 in general allocation money.
