Atlanta United announced today that it has finally completed a full transfer for one of its former key playmakers in Argentine Marcelino Moreno to Coritiba FC of Brazil’s Série A. Moreno had been on loan with the Brazilian club since January of this year, and the club exercised its option to permanently transfer him this summer. The transfer is effective retroactive to July 15, according to the club.
Moreno’s tenure in Atlanta was marked with up and down performance and production from an individual standpoint. Moreno scored 13 league goals in two-and-a-half seasons with the club after joining during a tumultuous time for the club in the summer of 2020 after Josef Martinez’s season-ending injury.
