Atlanta United has signed Middlesbrough Emmanuel Latte striker for a new MLS record of $ 22 million (17.6 million pounds sterling) plus additional modules.
This decision easily exceeds FC of $ 16.2 million that Cincinnati paid to sign Kevin Denkey earlier this winter.
The 26 -year -old, who has two caps for Côte d’Ivoire, left the championship club after 18 months successful, during which he scored 29 goals in 67 appearances.
Lath’s signature continues a very busy window for Atlanta, which confirmed the return of the legend of the Miguel Almirón club on Thursday. Mateusz Klich also signed DC United.
Atlanta finished ninth in the eastern conference last season, but then turned up Inter Miami in the first round of the playoffs, and will seek to join the high -level teams in MLS in 2025.
The agreement is also a record sale for Middlesbrough, exceeding the release of Adama Traore in Wolves in 2018/19.
