Sebastian Giovinco dejó de ser parte del Toronto FC, de la MLS, después de cuatro años; sin embargo, en su despedida, el delantero aseguró que por dos años buscó renovar su contrato, pero recibió malos de tratos de la directiva.

El italiano, a través de su cuenta de Instagram, reveló que pese a que él deseaba terminar su carrera en el Toronto, las condiciones que le ofrecieron eran inaceptables y entendió que ya no servía en el club.

"Durante dos años que he estado buscando extender mi contrato, sin embargo, la administración se mostró reacia. Recientemente, después de negarme a ejercer la opción del club para 2020, me ofrecieron términos que consideré inaceptables.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Toronto has been home to me and my family for almost 5 years. I arrived here from Italy in January 2015 and immediately felt something special. From day one, I worked hard to repay the opportunity that Toronto had given me. From that first year, I realized that we could do great things here. Through hard work, passion and determination my teammates and I transformed TFC and made it one of the best clubs in MLS and in North America. We didn’t do this alone. Without our great fans this would not have been possible. I can confidently say that I significantly contributed in making unprecedented history at TFC. We wrote a new chapter in the club’s history, together. All for One. This journey has been a wonderful experience for my family and me. It’s without hesitation that I can say that I wanted it to end differently. As I have always maintained, I was hoping to renew my contract and finish my playing career in a city that feels like home. It is here where my daughter was born and where my son took his first steps on a football pitch. A place my family loves to live and wanted to call home for good. Unfortunately, this desire of ours has clashed with a change in direction with current TFC management. For the 2 years I have been seeking to extend my contract however management was reluctant. Recently, after refusing to exercise the club option for 2020, I was offered terms that I deemed unacceptable. They may say I left for a more lucrative deal, but this is not the case. Their offer and lack of transparency is a clear message. It seems management prefers to focus on things other than the pure desire to win. After having grown the brand and elevating the overall reputation of TFC both at home and abroad, it seems I no longer serve a purpose. I would have accepted less to stay in Toronto. Therefore, I reluctantly announce that my tenure as a TFC player has come to an end. I will now focus my attention and efforts towards another challenge. With me I bring beautiful memories. Toronto - the 6ix - you are and will always remain in my heart. Thank you for everything you have taught me about myself and about life. I love you Toronto! Seba

"Pueden decir que me fui por un trato más lucrativo, pero este no es el caso. Su oferta y falta de transparencia es un mensaje claro. Parece que la gerencia prefiere enfocarse en cosas que no sean el deseo puro de ganar. Después de haber hecho crecer la marca y elevar la reputación general de TFC tanto en el país como en el extranjero, parece que ya no sirvo para nada. Anuncio a regañadientes que mi permanencia como jugador de TFC ha llegado a su fin", mencionó en una parte del escrito.

Por su parte el club, emitió un comunicado en el que dio a conocer que Giovinco fue vendido al Al-Hilal de la Liga de Arabia Saudita.
