Standout forward Milan Iloski and San Diego FC parted ways Tuesday when negotiations to reach a permanent deal broke down.
Iloski and the club mutually terminated his loan and he will return to Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
Iloski was second on San Diego with 10 goals despite playing just 471 minutes.
“We worked diligently to make it long-term and we couldn’t come to an agreement,” San Diego coach Mikey Varas said during Tuesday’s media availability. “Our focus is on the guys in the locker room. We wish him the best.”
Iloski, 25, had eight goals over his past five appearances, including an epic four-goal game against the host Vancouver Whitecaps on June 25.
“We want to thank Milan for his time and contributions to San Diego FC,” San Diego sporting director Tyler Heaps said in a news release. “He played an important role in our early history, and we respect his desire to return to FC Nordsjaelland and his decision to pursue other opportunities at this time. We wish him the best in this next stage of his career.”
San Diego leads the Western Conference with 42 points and still features one of MLS’ better one-two punches in All-Star forwards Anders Dreyer and Chucky Lozano. Dreyer has 11 goals and a league-best 15 assists while Lozano has six goals and eight assists.
San Diego hosts Toronto FC on Wednesday.
