All eyes around the Atlanta United rumor mill have been focused on Argentine star prospect Thiago Almada from Velez. Reports from around the globe say that transfer is close to completion ahead of Thursday’s MLS transfer deadline. However, there have been several new rumors that suggest the Five Stripes aren’t ready to stop with just one impact attacking addition.
At least three credible links have popped up since Saturday suggesting Atlanta are attempting to make another high-priced signing. First there were several reports saying the club made a bid in the region of $10 million for Cagliari’s Joao Pedro, which was turned down by the Serie A club.
