It’s finally official. Jurgen Damm’s time as an Atlanta United player has come to an end. After an offseason saga that included a mini back-and-forth of media exchanges and transfer speculation, in the end the club was forced to trigger their one buyout of the offseason.
It remains to be seen exactly how much relief the club will get from getting rid of Damm’s robust salary in this manner, but there’s no doubt that it will help them find some wiggle room financially.
Unfortunately, this is not how anyone wanted to see the Jurgen Damm era end in Atlanta, but it was an inevitability considering how little production the Mexican international offered since arriving at the club in 2020.
