The Reds reportedly want Pozuelo in a Toronto uniform by March 18 but Genk wants the attacking midfielder to stay with the first-place club in the Belgian First Division A league until the last day of the MLS transfer window on May 7.

The source said TFC is unwilling to wait much longer and if they can’t secure Pozuelo sooner rather than later — for a €8 million transfer fee — they’ll move on to another player as the club’s third Designated Player.
