Montreal Impact News Release
MONTREAL - A few days prior to the opening of the transfer window, the Montreal Impact announced Thursday that negotiations between the club and Italian defender Stefano Pesoli, for the 2011 season, are over. The two parties did not come to an agreement.
"We would have hoped to come to an agreement with Stefano. Unfortunately he did not accept our last offer," said Impact technical director Nick De Santis. "We have accepted that Stefano returns to Italy now to help him find a new club, which would have been difficult after the season, in November. With his departure and also the departure of Joqueviel, we are actively looking for a central defender."
Pesoli, 26, had joined the Impact in 2008 after a tryout with the team during the team's training camp in Italy. Pesoli played 39 matches with Montreal, all as starter, for a total of 3,420 minutes. In his rookie season he scored two goals in regular season play. This season, he will have played only one game due to an ankle and a toe injury.
The Impact will play its next game in St. Louis on July 10. The Impact will then return home on July 14 against the Carolina RailHawks. Tickets for that game are still available through Admission (514-790-1245 / 1-800-361-4595 / admission.com), or at Saputo Stadium.
