In some ways, it is a pity Atlanta United never consistently saw the best of playmaker Gonzalo Martinez after his high-profile signing.
Moving forward after selling the midfielder and still without their top scorer, the Five Stripes try to make do starting Saturday at Orlando City.
Martinez – nicknamed "Pity" -- was a record $14 million signing by Atlanta United (3-4-1) prior to the start of the 2019 season with a rising profile after leading Argentine side River Plate to the Copa Libertadores title and was named the best player in South America in 2018. He was signed as a replacement for Miguel Almiron, who left late in the 2018 season for English Premier League side Newcastle United.
