The summer transfer window is open, and Atlanta United has a lot of money in their pockets to work with. And with the three rule changes to the roster that the league announced in July, Atlanta United has more flexibility to add to their roster.
The secondary transer window officially runs from July 18 to August 14. During this window, Atlanta United may request the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) of a player under contract in another country. While deals may be agreed upon outside these windows, the transfer and receipt of an ITC are required to officially add a player to a roster, thus making him eligible for official competitions.
With the outgoing transfers of Giorgos Giakoumakis and Thiago Almada, Atlanta United has spots to fill. Follow along with the latest news and moves from the summer transfer window:
