Gonzalo “Pity” Martinez is officially in Atlanta, signed to a long-term deal and training with the first team. His first task is to get fit and integrate into the team. His next task, of course, is to prepare for the CONCACAF Champions League. But Martinez also has another important objective with Atlanta United: replacing Miguel Almiron.
Although it is far from official, Almiron is expected to be sold by Atlanta in this January transfer window, which closes in a matter of days. Rumors abound, but the leading suitor seems to be Newcastle United.
