MONTREAL — Canadian international Mathieu Choinière says he’s focused on playing for CF Montreal, for now.

The midfielder’s name is circulating in transfer rumours after he reportedly requested a trade from the club in May due to an impasse in contract negotiations.

GiveMeSport’s Tom Bogert reported Monday that Choiniere still wants out of Montreal and that plenty of Major League Soccer clubs are interested.

The Canadian transfer window opened Friday, while the United States-based teams can start making transactions Thursday.

Choinière also says he has dreams of eventually playing in Europe.
