Rumor: São Paulo want to acquire Alan Franco from Atlanta United

The offseason likes to play with a supporter’s emotions, and this busy period of the player’s time off has been rife with interesting roster updates. Today, the Atlanta United faithful have another to worry about. Cesar Luis Merlo has once again offered up some tasty information (rumor) stating that São Paulo have submitted a formal offer to Atlanta United for Alan Franco. Specifically, the rumor mentions that the offer is a loan with an obligation to purchase.

Anyone who watched the Five Stripes this year witnessed Franco go from a potential worry to one of the better center backs in the league alongside his pal Miles Robinson.
