CF Montréal owner Joey Saputo says MLS club will initiate sale process
Saputo wants the team to remain under Montreal ownership but says he won't sell at a discount or require a buyer to keep the team in the city.
CF Montréal owner Joey Saputo has announced that the Major League Soccer club will initiate the sale process. Saputo, who founded the franchise in 1992 as the Montreal Impact and helped bring the team into MLS in 2012, stated that he wants the team to remain under Montreal ownership. The announcement comes after the team's worst season in history, finishing last in the Eastern Conference with six wins, 20 losses, and eight draws.
The team also lost the Canadian Championship final to Canadian Premier League club Forge FC, leading to frustrated supporters boycotting games late in the season.
