Atlanta United has announced the transfer of midfielder Santiago Sosa to Racing Club in Argentina for an undisclosed fee. This move marks the end of Sosa’s four-year tenure with the Major League Soccer team.
Santiago Sosa, a 25-year-old Argentine midfielder, has been transferred from Atlanta United to Racing Club in the Argentine Primera Division. During his stint with Atlanta from 2021 to 2024, Sosa made a significant impact by playing 63 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
Sosa originally joined Atlanta United from River Plate, a club in his homeland of Argentina. Over his four years with Atlanta, he was identified as a promising talent with a U22 Initiative roster tag, reflecting his potential and value to the team.
In 2024, Sosa returned to Argentina on loan with Racing Club, where he continued to develop his skills and demonstrated his on-field capabilities. This return now becomes permanent as Atlanta United undertakes a busy offseason strategy to strengthen its squad after a notable performance in the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Notably, during the 2024 season, Atlanta United made headlines when they defeated Inter Miami CF, the Supporters’ Shield winners, in a remarkable victory as a ninth seed team. This achievement highlighted the team’s strategic approach and the contributions of players like Sosa.
The decision to transfer Sosa aligns with Atlanta United’s broader goals of restructuring and advancing beyond their latest playoff achievements. The club’s management seems focused on building a robust team infrastructure that can sustain and enhance its competitiveness in future MLS seasons.
The transfer of Santiago Sosa to Racing Club marks a pivotal development for both the player and Atlanta United. As Sosa embarks on his new journey in the Argentine Primera Division, Atlanta United looks ahead to further opportunities in the MLS landscape.
