River Plate President Rodolfo D’Onofrio admitted to South American reporters Wednesday that the club is aware of interest in Pity Martinez from Atlanta United, but added that no concrete transfer offers have been made.
This follows the original report last week by TyC Sports, stating that Atlanta United is planning to pay a release clause for the Argentine star midfielder. If this turns out to be the case, no transfer fee would need to be negotiated between the two teams. As soon as Atlanta United and Martinez agree in principle to a contract, Atlanta United can trigger the release clause to sign the player.
