Report: Atlanta United could sell Tito Villalba to unnamed Paraguayan club

Atlanta United’s first ever designated player could be making his way out of the club as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Doug Roberson has reported the team is pursuing a sale.

The dots here are really not hard to connect, especially taking into account the lede in Roberson’s story stating that Tito would be sold “to a team outside MLS, likely to a club in Paraguay.”

Atlanta United has been heavily linked in recent weeks to two Paraguayan players for Cerro Porteño in central midfielder Mathias Villasanti and Santiago Arzamendia. The issue with acquiring either or both of the players has been the cost — with both being expensive enough in a straight transfer to push them beyond the boundaries of available TAM.
