October 28, 2024: End of season roster decisions
Toronto FC declined its 2025 contract options for goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh, defenders Aimé Mabika and Shane O'Neill; and midfielder Brandon Servania. GM Jason Hernandez said that conversations are ongoing with some of those players about possibly being re-signed to new deals ahead of the 2025 MLS season.
Toronto picked up its contract options for goalkeeper Luka Gavran; defenders Kobe Franklin and Kevin Long; midfielders Alonso Coello and Kosi Thompson; and forwards Deandre Kerr and Tyrese Spicer. That means these players will return for TFC next season.
TFC have until the MLS deadline of Nov. 27 to exercise or decline the 2025 contract options for defender Luke Singh, currently on loan at the CPL's Atlético Ottawa, and forward Prince Owusu.
Quick analysis: There were no big surprises regarding the contract options that Toronto FC decided to decline.
But GM Jason Hernandez explained that for select players who didn't have their options picked up, conversations about returning to the club in 2025 are still ongoing. So, it is possible that some of them could be back next season if they agree to a new contract, but that would require them to take a pay cut.
