MLS
Pity Martínez Will Join Atlanta United
In a dialogue with TyCSports, River Plate Midfielder Pity Martínez confirmed that he will be making the jump to MLS and joining Atlanta United.
“It’s the club that trusted most in me. European teams did not trust me in their moment, I thought a lot with my family and with my representative. It’s a league that grew a lot and we hope to continue making history in that club.”
The 25-year-old scored in a win against Boca Juniors this past Sunday to win the Copa Libertadores of America.
For several months now, Pity has been in the radar of Atlanta. The deal is said to have been finalized in October, while triggering €15million release clause.
Since joining River Plate in January 2015, he has racked 22league goals and 14 assists.
