TORONTO - After months in limbo with Toronto FC, star striker Jozy Altidore’s move to the New England Revolution was finally confirmed Monday.
One minute after TFC issued a statement saying it had bought out Altidore’s contract, the Revolution announced it had signed the 32-year-old as a free agent.
The move had been expected for months, with discussions on the buyout dragging out behind the scenes. There was a sign of a breakthrough Friday when Altidore took to Instagram to say farewell to Toronto.
“Thank you Toronto and all the fans for a wonderful seven years,’’ he wrote to his 197,000 followers.
