The Montreal Impact traded forward Mike Fucito to the Portland Timbers in return of a second round pick in 2013 OR an international roster spot, depending on Fucito's performance with his new club.

The 26-year-old Concord, MA native played only the final 26 minutes of the opening game in Vancouver with the Impact's first team. He has since picked up three full reserve matches, including the April 11 clash with TFC's reserve at Downsview where he scored the game's only goal while wearing the captain's armband.
Fucito was acquired by Montreal on February 17 from the Seattle Sounders along with Lamar Neagle in exchange of American international striker Eddie Johnson, acquired by the Impact through allocation.
The fourth round (46th overall) Seattle SuperDraft pick in 2009 scored three goals in 24 MLS games in career since 2009.
SoccerPlus has learned the Timbers have been shopping around for a few days now and other Montreal players (including Miguel Montano and Hassoun Camara) could have been part of the discussions before settling on Fucito.
Interestingly enough, the Portland Timbers are the Impact's next opponent, Saturday, April 28 at Olympic Stadium.
