Toronto FC agrees to contract extension with winger Daniel Salloi through 2027 season

TORONTO — Toronto FC agreed to a one-year contract extension with winger Daniel Salloi that includes an option for the 2028 campaign, the Major League Soccer team said Tuesday.

Salloi, 29, has scored twice over four MLS games since joining TFC in the off-season. He notched the game-winner in a victory over FC Cincinnati on March 8.

“We are happy to formally announce the extension of Daniel at this time,” general manager Jason Hernandez said in a statement. “Prior to joining our club, we discussed with Daniel both our intentions regarding his role in our project and a revised contractual commitment.

“It was our belief that Daniel should not arrive at TFC on an expiring contract. Therefore, we aligned on terms for his extension before he joined us in February. This step has allowed him to focus solely on integrating with the team and performing his best during the beginning of the 2026 season. We look forward to the continued work together this year and beyond.”

Salloi spent 10 years with Sporting Kansas City FC before joining Toronto FC. He had 59 goals and 45 assists over 253 MLS games with the club.

Salloi has also earned four caps for the Hungarian national team.
