Atlanta United appear set to see another player from its 2022 roster depart the team for the upcoming MLS season. According to Cesar Luis Merlo, the Five Stripes will loan out winger Edwin Mosquera to Argentine club Defensa y Justicia on a 12-month deal.
Mosquera, 21, joined the club last season and occupied a U22 initiative roster spot. The Colombian attacker has appeared 12 times since his arrival, with all but one of those coming off the bench. He notched two assists during his 302 minutes.
With Mosquera’s departure, the club opens up an international roster slot and potentially a U22 initiative slot, assuming there’s no change in their allotment due to Designated Player rules.
