TRANSFER TRACKER: Report

Atlanta United are reportedly returning to the South American market yet again for a talented attacker.

According to Estudio Futbol, the club is "very close" to signing River Plate star Gonzalo "Pity" Martinez, should Miguel Almiron move to Europe. Martinez reportedly has a release clause of 15 million euros.

If Miguel Almirón is off as expected, what a tremendous piece of business that would be for Atlanta https://t.co/3msL5Yo6zC — Peter Coates (@golazoargentino) October 2, 2018

Martinez, 25, has been at River Plate since 2015 and has been capped by the Argentinian national team twice. He's twice won the Copa Argentina, twice Recopa Sudamericana and once Copa Libertadores since joining River Plate.

The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas reports there "still a lot to do for this move to happen."
