The 30-year-old Spaniard was in his fourth season with TFC as a designated player. In 16 games this season, the diminutive midfielder has four goals.
Signed from Genk in 2019, Posuello made 100 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, scoring 30 goals.
A two-time MLS All-Star, Pozuelo was key to TFC’s march to the 2019 MLS Cup Final, where they eventually fell to the Seattle Sounders.
Pozuelo’s departure comes with rumors that the Reds are close to signing Italy winger Federico Bernardeschi. Bernardeschi, 28, is out of contract after five seasons at Juventus.
Bernardeschi was a teammate of TFC forward Lorenzo Insigne on the Italy team that won Euro 2020 last summer.
