Toronto FC is downplaying word from Sebastian Giovinco’s agent that the deep-pocketed Chinese Super League is interested in the star striker.
“We’re committed to the player ... It’s very much not in the plans to sell him,” general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said Wednesday.
The GM said expressions of interest in his players from agents or intermediaries are a regular occurrence — “I’d say that happens, at least a soft form of approach, once every two to four weeks.”
The team response is standard, according to Bezbatchenko.
“Thank you for the interest. We’re not looking to move any of our players.
