Atlanta United announced on Dec. 1 that the club wasn’t exercising a number of player’s options, including Alec Kann. However, his name wasn’t in the “Thank You” graphic, though his name was listed as one of the decline options.
Carlos Bocanegra later confirmed that the front office and Kann were in talks to sign a new deal, but Doug Roberson of the AJC reported on Twitter that Cincinnati offered him the chance to be their starting goalkeeper.
