Toronto FC has traded winger/wingback Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty to rival CF Montreal.
A source confirmed the deal, which will see Toronto receive up to US$1.3 million in general allocation money, with $850,000 of that guaranteed.
The source was granted anonymity because the trade had not been announced yet.
The 20-year-old Marshall-Rutty signed with Toronto as a homegrown player in January 2020. While he has impressed at times – setting up the winning goal Sunday against Mexico’s Pachuca in Leagues Cup play – he has struggled to get regular playing time.
Marshall-Rutty is making US$181,815 this season, according to the MLS Players Association.
