Last summer, the Italian joined Toronto as a free agent, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract. Bernardeschi had a good start to his new career, scoring eight goals in his first 13 MLS games, but this season things are much worse, with Federico having only three goals and two assists in 21 league games.

"Bologna is considering a transfer for the 29-year-old, but the club is concerned about the player's current salary of €4 million per season. However, Bernardeschi's desire to return to Italy could change the situation.
