According to a report from Paul Tenorio of The Athletic, Toronto FC have acquired 21-year-old striker Jon Bakero and $50,000 in General Allocation Money from the Chicago Fire in exchange for midfielder Nicolas Hasler.
Bakero comes from Spain, but he attended Wake Forest University in North Carolina. He was drafted fifth overall by the Fire in 2018. He's made four MLS appearances for Chicago, starting once. In his final year at Wake Forest, he won the MAC Hermann trophy as the top male soccer player in the NCAA.
TFC will lose Nico Hasler, who enjoyed a successful stint with the Reds since signing last summer.
