TORONTO – Toronto FC acquired US$300,000 in 2026 general allocation money from Minnesota United on Monday in exchange for an international roster spot.

Allocation money can be used in Major League Soccer to “buy-down” a player’s salary budget charge (each club had a salary budget of US$5.95 million in 2025)

Each club receives an annual allotment of general allocation money (was US$2.93 million per club in 2025).

That amount can be increased depending on circumstances, from missing out on the playoffs to the type of “roster construction model” used.

In 2025, a total of 241 international roster slots was divided among the 30 clubs.

 This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 5, 2026.
