Reports: Toronto FC Acquire Josh Sargent in $22M Deal
Toronto FC's $22 million signing of Josh Sargent marks a club record and ranks among MLS's top five transfer fees, boosting their attacking lineup.
- On Feb. 20, Toronto FC agreed a transfer with Norwich City to acquire U.S. forward Josh Sargent, with the fee reported at $22 million up front and nearly $27 million with add-ons.
- Following a meeting with club officials on Jan. 11, Sargent was sent to train with Norwich's under‑21s, with Norwich repeatedly insisting he was not for sale given his contract through 2028.
- Josh Sargent has 29 appearances and five goals for the United States men's national team, played at the 2022 World Cup, but has not scored since 2019 or been called since September 2025.
- Sargent traveled to Toronto Friday, giving manager Robin Fraser a central striker for Saturday's match at FC Dallas in Frisco, Texas.
- In the broader MLS market, Toronto FC’s signing amid rising transfer fees raises pressure to return to the playoffs after past signings Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi underperformed.
