Toronto FC adds to its attack, acquiring Djordje Mihailovic as a designated player

Toronto FC has acquired Djordje Mihailovic from the Colorado Rapids in a cash deal worth up to $9 million (all figures in U.S. dollars), hoping the attacking midfielder will help revive its attack. Article content The transfer cost Toronto $8 million with up to $1 million in conditional cash if certain performance-based metrics are met. Colorado also retains a sell-on percentage if the player is traded or transferred. Article content Article content Mihailovic joins Toronto as a designated player, signing a 3 1/2-year contract through the end of 2028 with a club option for 2029. Article content 'The signing of Djordje is a landmark moment, not just for our team, but for our fans, as the clearest symbol of our ownership's intention and commitment to winning,' Toronto general manager Jason Hernandez said in a statement. 'As we determined the best strategy to approach our team's transformation, we identified Djordje as the perfect foundational piece for our club, as one of the most prolific chance-creators in MLS. Article content 'Djordje's ability to deliver high-level output week in and week out is widely understood, but his winning mentality and desire to elevate TFC were key factors in securing him as our new No. 10 … We know Djordje is only beginning to enter his prime and will be a key piece of our franchise for many years to come.' Article content Earlier Thursday, TFC announced it had acquired $175,000 in 2025 general allocation money from the Portland Timbers in exchange for a 2025 international roster slot. Article content The Mihailovic transfer is the latest in a line of big moves in Major League Soccer this week with German star Thomas Muller joining the Vancouver Whitecaps from Bayern Munich and South Korean captain Son Heung-Min joining Los Angeles FC from England's Tottenham. Article content At his best, Mihailovic is a game-changer, something Toronto (5-13-6) sorely needs. With 25 goals in 24 games, TFC ranks 26th in the league on offence. Article content Mihailovic can score goals and set them up. The 26-year-old U.S. international has scored 48 goals and added 63 assists in 243 games during a pro career in MLS and Europe. Article content The five-foot-10 153-pounder has 23 goals and 22 assists in 63 appearances in all competitions with Colorado since joining the club as a DP in January 2024. In his first season with the Rapids, he set a club record for most goal contributions in a single season with 11 goals and 14 assists in regular-season play.
