The year 2025 has started with great intensity in the MLS, where teams are already making significant moves in the transfer market to strengthen their squads for the new season.
Inter Miami has landed one of the great figures of Portuguese football, attracting him to join its squad with Lionel Messi.
San Jose Earthquakes has taken a very important step by signing a highly experienced player who had a great time at Atlanta United.
And now Atlanta United is looking to follow suit with a strategic move looking for a striker in England.
Atlanta United with a phenomenal offer for EFL Championship star Emmanuel Latte Lath
Atlanta United has set its sights on Emmanuel Latte Lath, an Ivorian striker who has shone at Middlesbrough, a team in the English second division.
Atlanta United’s formal proposal includes an €18 million package, with an additional €1 million in add-ons, indicating the seriousness of their interest in the 26-year-old forward.
Since joining Middlesbrough in 2023, Latte Lath has shown outstanding performance.
In the current season (2024-25), Transfermarkt has indicated that he has participated in 28 matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 2 assists, establishing himself as a key piece in his team’s attack.
His experience in Europe and his goalscoring ability make him an ideal signing to reinforce Atlanta United’s offense.
A promising 2025 season for Atlanta
With this move, Atlanta United looks to establish itself as a serious contender in the MLS Eastern Conference, following in the footsteps of teams such as Inter Miami.
The signing of Latte Lath could be a catalyst for their aspirations to compete at the highest level and surpass the achievements of past seasons.
The addition of a forward with Latte Lath’s European experience could be exactly what Atlanta United needs to raise their level of competitiveness in MLS.
