Rumors popped up last week linking Chilean midfielder Carlos Carmona with Atlanta United. Since then, rumors have also emerged regarding Josef Martinez and the Carmona discussion was largely forgotten about. However, news today makes it possible for the Red and Black to possibly sign both Martinez and Carmona.
Carmona’s contract at Atalanta in Serie A was terminated by the club. That means that as of today, Carmona is a free agent and a transfer fee would not be needed to acquire him. That makes it far more possible to sign Carmona using Targeted or General Allocation Money and keep the third Designated Player slot open for Martinez.
