Atlanta United: What would Pity Martinez mean?

Atlanta United have turned their attention to the 2019 campaign. They have retained players from the 2018 squad like Michael Parkhurst, have added new members to the championship-side like Brek Shea, and are now looking to further their squad through the transfer market.

The Five Stripes are strongly linked with South American star Gonzalo “Pity” Martinez.

The Argentinian midfielder led his River Plate side to the Copa Libertadores championship while also earning the 2018 South American Footballer of the Year Award. And with Martinez confirming a deal with the Five Stripes, his move to the South signifies changing days for Atlanta and Major League Soccer as a whole.
