Toronto FC Lands Palacio for Midfield Boost | MLS News

Toronto FC just dropped over a million bucks to land Colombian midfielder Nelson Palacio from Real Salt Lake — a 25-year-old dynamo with serious defensive grit and muscle, plus up to half a million more if he hits goals. Palacio, who came to MLS mid-last year from Atlético Nacional and added two goals and two assists in 55 games for RSL, also had a loan stint in Switzerland. The move comes as Toronto sits 13th in the East with just 14 points, while RSL’s in 3rd in the West with 26. Toronto’s got a big chance to turn things around when they face CF Montréal on July 16th — and we’ll be watching to see if Palacio can spark a climb.
