Sebastian Giovinco has one year left on his Toronto FC contract, but also wants his next contract sorted quickly.
That may mean a move abroad, as the Italian wizard considers interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
Selling Giovinco would allow TFC to cash in on their star, and may also prod Jozy Altidore to the door -- Liga MX? -- ahead of a new contract as Ali Curtis reshapes the championship team reared by Tim Bezbatchenko.
Al-Hilal is managed by former Benfica and Sporting Lisbon boss Jorge Jesus, and has Bafetimbi Gomis, Andre Carrillo, and Jonathan Soriano on the books.
The move comes as Toronto is linked with oft-injured Darmstadt striker Terrence Boyd. The Reds acquired the top spot in the allocation order from FC Cincinnati this week in a trade for Nick Hagglund, and USMNT striker Boyd is believed to require allocation to arrive in MLS.
Boyd, 27, was one of the top American talents abroad when he sealed a 2014 move to RB Leipzig following a standout pair of seasons at Rapid Wien, but has played just 43 times for RBL and Darmstadt.
He scored four times in 24 Bundesliga matches during the club’s 2017-18 relegation campaign, but counts just one appearance of more than 15 minutes amongst his 13 times on the field for the 2.Bundesliga side.
Boyd was last capped in 2016.
