The transfer window for Toronto FC has officially opened
• A difficult stretch of the season that could be resolved with good moves
• TFC wants to make the Playoffs in this MLS season

At this point in the season, Toronto FC is not in a good position in the MLS, having accumulated a negative streak of consecutive defeats.
It is crucial to take advantage of the transfer window to effectively reinforce the team. The transfer market opened for Canadian MLS teams on July 12, allowing them to start making moves in this transfer window to improve the club's squad.
An important stretch of the season for TFC
This news is especially significant for John Herdman, who previously stated that Toronto FC was planning major signings for the final stretch of the season to recover from the series of defeats in the MLS.
Throughout 2024, Toronto FC has faced numerous challenges, including a reduced squad due to injuries and absences from international tournaments. Currently, Toronto FC has around five players out, which has severely impacted their performance game after game. In addition to these problems, the team has struggled with a poor mentality.

Currently, Toronto FC is in 9th place in the Eastern Conference, just outside the Playoffs, which is a significant crisis for Herdman's team. However, the TFC coach remains positive about this stage of the club, trying to calm the fans and trust in the process he is leading.
In this transfer window, John Herdman mentioned the possibility of bringing in several reinforcements, potentially one player for each key position: a defender, a midfielder, and a forward.
These signings could be crucial for Toronto FC to turn things around this season. In the coming weeks, we expect to see a team reinforced with additions that genuinely add value and do not create more chaos for John Herdman's management this season.
