SOCCER: Sporting KC trade Forward Daniel Salloi to Toronto

Toronto FC has finalized a deal to acquire Hungarian winger Daniel Salloi from Sporting Kansas City.

In the exchange, Sporting KC received $300,000 in general allocation money and $700,000 in performance-based add-ons. The agreement also includes a portion of any future transfer proceeds if Toronto sells Salloi to another club.

TFC General Manager Jason Hernandez said, "We are very happy to welcome Daniel to Toronto. As a captain and stalwart for SKC for many years, he will bring a welcome combination of MLS experience and impact to our group. We look forward to integrating him into the team and starting our journey together."

SKC General Manager David Lee thanked Salloi for his contributions, adding, "This move provides us with additional flexibility, which will help as we continue to build our roster, while also giving Daniel the opportunity to continue his career in MLS as he entered the final year of his contract. It is always difficult to part ways with players who have given so much to a club, but we felt this was the right decision for all involved, and we wish Daniel nothing but the best in Toronto."

Salloi, 29, scored 54 goals and provided 32 assists in 242 regular-season matches since joining SKC in 2016. He was named an MLS All-Star in 2021 and helped Sporting KC win the U.S. Open Cup in 2017. Last season, he recorded seven goals and four assists in 33 MLS matches, including 24 starts.

The 2026 MLS regular season kicks off this weekend, with Toronto FC visiting FC Dallas and Sporting KC traveling to face the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.
