Ayo Akinola out of contract as Toronto FC announce 2021 end-of-season roster moves

TORONTO, Canada—Let the Bob Bradley rebuild begin.

Toronto FC announced today its end-of-season roster decisions, and there’s a few surprises.

Most notably, 21-year-old forward Ayo Akinola is one of five players who are out of contract at the end of the season. The Canadian international, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in July while with the national team, is not yet eligible for MLS free agency and Toronto FC will likely try and re-sign the talented striker. However, it’s possible that Akinola, who has been linked with a move overseas, gauges the interest in Europe.
