Marcelino Moreno is about to be officially off of Atlanta United’s books, according to a report that states that his loan club Cortiba is exercising a transfer option of $1.5 million to buy the majority share of his contractual rights.
Atlanta will presumably hold a certain percentage of Moreno’s future transfer fee rights, though the most important aspect of this deal is simply the official sale, which means Atlanta United will no longer be charged the prorated transfer fee it initially paid for the player in 2020.
In the report, detail is included that states Cortiba had 48 hours upon the opening of Brazil’s summer transfer window to make the deal permanent or release him back to Atlanta.
