After weeks of rumors emanating from Chile predicting the sale of Carlos Carmona to Chilean outfit Colo-Colo, Atlanta United Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra admitted Thursday night to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the team is indeed planning to sell the veteran midfielder.
Atlanta United’s front office now faces a stern test as it seeks to replace a key member of the team in short order. This is exacerbated by the fact that this was not planned. While it’s very much possible that the front office indeed has a backup plan in mind, Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday evening that the team had no plans to move Carmona as recently as only days ago.
