1. Josef Martínez: The Established Star
Josef Martínez, one of the most celebrated forwards in MLS history, is another intriguing option. The 31-year-old Venezuelan spent the 2024 season with CF Montréal, where he demonstrated his continued class as a prolific striker. Martínez scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists in just 1,500 minutes across 26 matches.
Having previously dominated the league during his time with Atlanta United, Martínez remains a proven match-winner. His sharp instincts, finishing ability, and leadership qualities make him a standout choice for Toronto FC as they seek to rebuild their squad and return to playoff contention.
Building Toward 2025
As Toronto FC continues its search for a new head coach, the addition of a high-caliber forward will be essential in shaping the team for the upcoming season. Whether it’s Ebobisse’s consistency, Picault’s experience, or Martínez’s star power, each of these players offers unique qualities that could elevate Toronto FC’s performances in 2025.
