Toronto FC might not have to wait until July for the arrival of Sebastian Giovinco as reports suggest Juventus and the Major League Soccer club are in talks to ensure the player is available for the start of the season in March.

Italian publication Tuttosport reports that the decision remains with TFC and whether they're willing to take on the Italian and pay him for the next six months.

The proposed fast-track of the agreement would mean that Goivinco could join the club in time for their season opener against the Vancouver Whitecaps on March 7.

Toronto FC denied the report, saying that the speculation originated in Italy and distanced themselves from any speculation.
