Atlanta United Overview

The 16-year-old broke Freddy Adu's record and strengthened his USMNT case, while Antoine Griezmann, Josh Sargent and Breel Embolo delivered across MLS.

Alvaro Morata could be set for a surprise departure from Como just months after making his move permanent, with Atlanta United reportedly identifying the veteran striker as a key target. The Major League Soccer outfit have turned their attention to the Spaniard after failing to secure a deal for Napoli's Romelu Lukaku.

Atlanta United are reportedly exploring a blockbuster move to upgrade their attack, opening talks with former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez. The Uruguay international has emerged as a leading target as the club prepares for a potential designated player opening, although Atlanta are also pursuing Switzerland forward Breel Embolo.

Atlanta did not need the World Cup to manufacture a soccer culture. Eight matches and more than half a million fan-festival visitors only confirmed what the city had spent nearly 60 years building.
