Atlanta United have finally signed Argentine playmaker Pity Martinez from River Plate, with reports putting the transfer fee in the range of $17 million. Now that he\’s arrived, he will join Miguel Almiron, Josef Martinez and Ezequiel Barco as the club’s fourth Designated Player.
That’s an embarrassment of riches – it’s also against MLS rules. Teams are only allowed to have three DPs on the books when the roster compliance date hits just before opening day, meaning Atlanta will have to move at least one of Almiron, Martinez, Martinez or Barco this winter.
As of late delegated the 2018 South American Footballer of the Year, Martinez will join the Five Stripes as a Designated Player pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.
He will be formally acquainted with the media amid a question and answer session at Atlanta\’s preparation office on Friday morning.
