Atlanta United is in the process of sending midfielder Pity Martinez to a Saudi Arabian club. The former South American player of the year failed to meet expectations during his time in Major League Soccer.

Martinez was not in the lineup for Atlanta’s 0-0 draw with Inter Miami on Wednesday night.

United will reportedly receive an $18 million transfer fee from Al-Nassr FC for Martinez. That would be a small profit on what Atlanta paid to bring him from Argentina’s powerhouse River Plate club before the 2019 season.
