Toronto FC president Bill Manning promised significant changes after the curtain closed on a dismal six-win season.
Signing Italian star Lorenzo Insigne — reportedly a TFC target for almost two months, with talks intensifying of late — would qualify as one of the most significant moves in Major League Soccer history.
The Reds are reportedly willing to pay the 30-year-old playmaker a league-record salary. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted Tuesday that the Reds have offered Insigne a 5 1/2-year deal that would guarantee him about $16 million Canadian per season, with the potential for more than $6.
