Strong rumours are suggesting that Olof Mellberg is prepared to turn down the Reds offer for a return to the Premiership.
Toronto has offered the Swedish international a Designated Player contract. Although the exact figure of the deal is unknown, it is said to be "lucrative."
At this point Toronto has played its hand and is at the mercy of Mellberg. If he decides to come to MLS it will be with TFC.
However, rumours in the UK are strongly suggesting that David Moyes is considering making an offer to Mellberg, although he has yet to formally approach the former Villa man. The lure of playing at the highest level is causing Mellberg to hold off on making a decision regarding Toronto.
