Domenico Criscito is headed to Toronto FC after all.

Fabrizio Romano reports the outgoing Genoa captain will be announced as the Reds' next signing after a previous deal to sign the player collapsed in March.

TFC introduced new Designated Player - and fellow Italian - Lorenzo Insigne on Friday.

The 35-year-old defender came up through both the Genoa and Juventus academies and made his Serie A debut for Juve in 2007. 

After a four-season return to Genoa, Criscito joined Russian Premier League side Zenit in 2011. In his seven seasons in Saint Petersburg, Criscito won a pair of RPL titles and a Russian Cup. He rejoined Genoa in 2018.

Internationally, Criscito was capped 26 times by the Azzurri and appeared at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He also represented Italy at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Criscito had been expected to join TFC at the beginning of the season, but chose to stay and help Genoa in its relegation fight.

Genoa ultimately finished 19th and will play in Serie B next season alongside fellow relegated clubs Cagliari and Venezia.
