Everything Carlos Bocanegra and Gonzalo Pineda said about Josef Martinez in end-of-season press conference

An obviously unsettled Josef Martinez ended the season in frustration Sunday, reportedly refusing to talk with media and instead directing them to speak with club decision-makers Carlos Bocanegra and Gonzalo Pineda. Media got their chance to do just that today, so here is a transcript of what was said by both Atlanta United’s vice president and head coach.

Carlos Bocanegra

Doug Roberson (AJC): Josef Martinez, has he asked to be traded or transferred? And he is in is he in the team’s plans for next season?

Bocanegra: Thanks for that, so, yeah, fine with Josef.
