One reason Toronto might want to sell Giovinco is that he has the biggest contract in MLS ($7mm yearly I think), it ends next year, and he wants an extension now.

They are understandably less than eager to extend that for someone who will be 33 in the first year of the new deal and has a history of repeated injuries. He probably wants to lock the money in now for the same reason. So they're making him wait, which makes him unhappy, and more than likely they just lose him if they don't make a deal for him. I think ideally they keep him through 2018 and deal him between seasons, but if an opportunity presents itself, I can see them acting on it.
