The internet was abuzz yesterday with reports coming out of Argentina that Atlanta United could be looking to offload the struggling Pity Martinez on loan just months into his stay. Rumors are plentiful, especially when the transfer windows open around the world, but Frank de Boer isn’t having it.
The Atlanta manager called the rumblings of Pity’s possible departure “ridiculous” and firmly stated that the designated player is working to adapt to the team.
“It’s ridiculous, you know,” De Boer said in audio provided by the team.” We’re just halfway through the season and he’s new.
