Toronto FC gets veteran forward CJ Sapong from Nashville, MacNaughton goes other way

Apr 25, 2023 | 7:30 AM

Toronto FC has traded centre back Lukas MacNaughton and up to US$200,000 in general allocation money to Nashville SC for forward CJ Sapong.

The move gets Toronto a veteran striker. TFC has been short up front in experience with Adama Diomande sidelined by injury since the second game of the season.

The 24-year-old Sapong has 88 goals and 34 assists in 350 regular-season appearances with Nashville, Chicago, Philadelphia and Sporting Kansas City.

Toronto gives up US$125,000 in 2024 general allocation money (GAM) and an additional $75,000 in conditional 2025 GAM if Sapong meets certain performance metrics. 

MacNaughton joined Toronto ahead of the 2022 season from the CPL’s Pacific FC. He has been a backup to Matt Hedges and Sigurd Rosted this season.
