With captain Michael Bradley taking a multimillion-dollar hometown discount on his new contract, Toronto FC now has the funds and the opening to sign a marquee attacking talent.
The MLS club already has whittled down its list of possible designated players to three or four. While Bradley met the media Thursday to discuss his new deal — which covers three years plus a club option — GM Ali Curtis and coach Greg Vanney were away scouting talent in South America.
Curtis heads to Europe this weekend with team president Bill Manning set to join him next week.
