The odds of Julian de Guzman finishing the season with Toronto FC are improving, although there still is a chance that he will return to Europe.

Sources close to the club confirmed that de Guzman has been given the opportunity of finding a club, but TFC itself is not shopping the midfielder. It's been said that de Guzman is only interested in returning to Europe if it's in Spain. There are no known offers at this time.
"It's up to him whether he stays," was how one source put it. Although Aron Winter has had some issues with his play, TFC is happy to fulfill the rest of his contract, which runs through to the end of the 2012 season. However, they are not interested in forcing de Guzman to stay if he is not happy.
It's being suggested that Winter sees de Guzman fitting into the right midfield spot that Jacob Peterson filled prior to being shipped to San Jose.
