Additionally, Real Salt Lake will retain a sell-on percentage if the player is traded or sold via transfer. Palacio will occupy a U-22 Initiative roster slot during the 2026 MLS season, and will be added to the club\u2019s roster pending the receipt of his medicals and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).<\/p>\n<p>Quick analysis: With Jos\u00e9 Cifuentes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tfcrepublic.ca\/june-29-toronto-fc-jose-cifuentes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">out of the picture<\/a>, Toronto FC had a hole in its midfield and decided to plug it with Nelson Palacio, who is more of a traditional defensive midfielder than the Ecuadorian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that GM Jason Hernandez decided to go this route and pick up a player of Palacio&#8217;s profile, rather than going for a like-for-like replacement for Cifuentes. Then again, the back line has been leaking goals this season \u2013 29 goals conceded through 14 games \u2013 so it needs all the help and support it can get.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                This post is for paying subscribers only<br \/>\n            <a class=\"gh-btn\" data-portal=\"signup\" href=\"#\/portal\/signup\" style=\"color:#b00707\">Subscribe now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Already have an account? <a data-portal=\"signin\" href=\"#\/portal\/signin\">Sign in<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News TFC have acquired the Colombian midfielder in a cash-for-player trade from Real Salt Lake for $1.1 million&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,3302],"class_list":["post-784215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
