According to reports from opposite ends of the globe, Atlanta United is on the verge of getting a couple of key transfer signings across the line as the team prepares to travel to Mexico City for the pivotal portion of its preseason training camp.
One of those players is one we’ve been keeping a close eye on since being linked — striker Giorgios Giakoumakis from Celtic. The 28-year old Greek international has been ensnared in a transfer battle between Atlanta United and J-League club Urawa Red Diamonds. Atlanta has reportedly had to up its offer to convince Celtic to move him stateside, but it seems to be enough.
