Atlanta United announced it will acquire midfielder Amar Sejdic from CF Montreal in exchange for $100k of General Allocation Money up front with potentially $50k more to be added through incentives. The trade will be effective tomorrow when MLS’s secondary transfer window opens.
Sejdic occupied a supplemental roster spot for Montreal, where the German-born midfielder has made 4 starts and played 388 minutes so far this season. He did not play against Atlanta when Montreal visited Mercedes-Benz Stadium in May. Sejdic does not occupy an international slot.
With Emerson Hyndman out for the year with a torn ACL and Franco Ibarra week-to-week with an injured hamstring, Atlanta United is desperately in need of bodies who can play box-to-box.
