Atlanta United's new No. 10 teaser video sparks speculation

Miguel Almiron - Paraguay - Copa America Centenario - isolated

Those looking for possible clues on another big-name Atlanta United signing may be in for a treat.


Reports from South America on Friday linked the MLS expansion side to Paraguayan international Miguel Almiron, currently playing at Argentine side Lanus but formerly a player for Atlanta United head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino at Paraguayan powerhouse Cerro Porteño.


On Saturday, Atlanta United dropped a new teaser video for a No. 10:

The video immediately led to intense study among some observers, with eagle-eyed viewers claiming a jersey name beginning "ALMI-" was visible in a few frames of the video.

Does that mean Almiron will be joining Atlanta United? Is this an exercise in misdirection on the part of the team? Is there another No. 10 whose name begins Almi- who will be signing with the club instead? It's hard to say at this point, as it appears to be a "wait and see" situation for the moment.
