Unnamed Trialist Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Is he negotiating a new contract? Time to drum up the Europe rumours. Who's going to pay 600,000€ salary to a 30 year old with no long term possibilities of a resale and no European experience?

BearcatSA Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The club's looking for a hometown discount from the player, the player's maximizing his value with strong performances as well as his camp trying to get some more irons in the fire. Good second story drama to go along with the Forza Italia hype. At the end of it all, I think he'll re-sign. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Ok, my prediction: he scores Canada's first goal in a World Cup. Still don't think it'll be enough to warrant him a European contract, unless he decides he really wants the experience, accepts no major salary movement, and makes the move regardless on a free transfer.

Kadenge Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 With TFC throwing $$$ around for their DPs one of which is injured before even playing a minute of football, I sure hope they don't try and screw their longest serving Cdn player who continues to produce for the club.

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 On memory he was on 750k a year or something. That's hard to repeat in Europe, but TFC should at least match it for another 3 years. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osorio is one of a few players who could make a good move, with a better salary in Europe, depending on the World Cup. If we beat one of Croatia or Belgium, or get out of the group, we'll see moves for David, Osorio, Adekugbe, Johnston, I think they're the best bets. Miller even.

VinceA Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) https://youtu.be/AdDaUnuxxpY a really good interview with Oso. He doesn't do too many of these so nice to see. One interesting part is that he doesn't get to close to his coaches as he doesn't want things to be personal if a coach does something he doesn't like. He's talking about TFC here but I wonder if the dynamic is different with Herdman. Edited July 22, 2022 by VinceA Free kick and Metro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to a podcast / radio interview yesterday from an Edmonton station who was inetrviewing Luke Wileman. He noted that Osorio would be open to a move to Europe or South America if required. He mentioned his development roots in Uruguay and the the fact that he has Colombian background.

I am not sure that I concure that : "He doesn't do too many of these". He use to get interviewed a fair bit on TFC segments on local radio shows. Compared to other players on TFC, It would appear that he has done his share. In fact, him and Bradley would be the two whom we have heard from the most. Interestingly, I have never heard Giovinco (For example) do any kind of sit down interview. Thats the kind of player I would have been interested to hear from.

Gian-Luca Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Bob Bradley has mentioned in today's post-training press conference that Osorio has now "cleared" concussion protocol. The two Euro 2020 winners have also been deemed fit to play and available, so that should make for quite the change to the starting line-up vs. last week against Montreal.

I'm not sure why he couldn't make a lateral salary move and go somewhere in Europe. At this stage of his career he has nothing left to prove in MLS and presumably has a bank balance that means he can choose to go where he wants instead of needing maximum money. I'd see his options as re-signing one last time with TFC for solid money or finding a place in Europe where he can earn similar money on a team that promises him playing time. (I doubt he wants to sign somewhere just to ride the bench.) Not bad options, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauditYvon Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 He’s at 1 026 000 this year. Career earnings estimated at 4 431 333 USD, plus sponsors and national team bonus, minus taxes, probably between 2.5 and 3.0 millions in USD. So yeah, awesome but not heavy rich. I guess he will look for a long term, at least 3 years at 1 million per year. Toronto will offer that, but he needs to have a great world cup to have that salary elsewhere.

(I doubt he wants to sign somewhere just to ride the bench.) Not bad options, really. In that interview (posted above), he mentioned how his style is Colombian influence. So if I think of someone like Valderamma from the past, their (Colombian) style is slow and patient. I also think of a player that excels in short and penetrating passes and combination play. This is not the kind of style that catches the attention of European clubs unless you are a known quantity and have built a name and reputation already. So coming from MLS wont help. He is definitely not suited for the game in the British Isles where its run run run. This might explain why he could easily risk facing the same fate as Laryea if he were to go there.

Toronto still have one DP spot, Osorio is not and still makes 1 million. Let say he signs a new deal until july 2026. He would make, in 3 and a half seasons, the same amount of money he made from 2013-2022 (10 seasons). Thanks to 2 World Cup. He’s already based in the national team headquarters, has guaranteed playing time, good salary and marketable. Would definitely be a legend if he retires with TFC, that means coach/ambassador role. Would be dumb to move to Europe imo and South American clubs will never give him 1 million USD. Maybe Mexico… Edited July 22, 2022 by MauditYvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must also make some decent money doing commercials here in Canada. In Europe, he wouldn't have that revenue stream. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not as true as it used to be. It used to be that a strong performance at the world cup by lesser known player (Often non-European players) would boost the value of the player but a lot clubs later learned that often those type of deals seldom paid off because the player would often get injured or underperform in the year following the world cup due fixture exhaustion.
