There were nothing but smiles at Real Sports Bar on Monday evening as Federico Bernardeschi was officially unveiled as Toronto FC’s latest signing and Designated Player.
After five seasons with Juventus, where he won three Serie A titles, Bernardeschi is set to begin the next chapter of his career as he leaves not just Europe, but also Italy for the first time in his career.
Toronto FC becomes the first non-Italian club on Bernardeschi’s resume, and despite only being 28, the Italy international is raring to go in MLS.
“I chose to come here because I want to win, I want to invest in this project, this project for the future that is Toronto, and I really want to win here,” affirmed Bernardeschi.
