TORONTO - Toronto FC has traded midfielder Matty Longstaff to CF Montreal in exchange for striker Jules-Anthony Vilsaint and up to US$275,000 in general allocation money.

Montreal will pay Toronto $225,000 in GAM this year and could send an additional $50,000 next year, depending on Longstaff’s roster status in 2026.

The deal was announced by both clubs on Monday.

Longstaff, a 25-year-old from England, produced two goals and three assists in 49 MLS appearances for TFC, including one goal in 17 outings this year.

The five-foot-seven Longstaff arrived in Toronto after four seasons with Newcastle United, where he made only 20 appearances — 14 in the Premier League. He went out on load three times and was released by the Magpies after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament injury in 2022
