MONTREAL – The Montreal Impact announced on Friday that the club has waived Italian midfielder Marco Donadel.
“I want to thank Marco for his contribution to the Montreal Impact, on and off the field,” said Montreal Impact president Joey Saputo. “He was a true professional and brought his precious experience to the team during important moments. He proudly wore the club’s colours while immersing himself to life in Montreal with his family. I wish him a lot of success for the remainder of his career.”

His dedication and commitment is greatly appreciated and we wish him the best of luck moving forward.”
Donadel, 35, appeared in 67 games and played 5,035 minutes, including 61 starts, in four MLS seasons between 2015 and 2018, recording three goals and 10 assists in MLS. He only appeared in two games this season, including one start.
