United States international and Atlanta United midfielder Darlington Nagbe is reportedly pushing for a move away from the reigning MLS Cup champions, as reported by Rob Usry of SBNation’s Dirty South Soccer on Friday. The report, if true, comes as a shock to both fans of United fan and the Atlanta front office. It was then reported by Atlanta-Journal Constitution beat writer Doug Roberson that Nagbe won’t train with United for the remainder of the team’s preseason trip to California.
Nagbe’s role in Atlanta’s trophy-winning season last year was significant.
