JANUARY 10: CBS Sports' Roger Gonzalez reported on Friday that the deal between Atlanta, Necaxa and Meza has been completed.
“We hope to bring in three to four players and be able to announce those signings in the next week or so,” Atlanta United VP and technical director Carlos Bocanegra said on Thursday. “All the players that we’re bringing in, we feel that they’ll be ready to go for Champions League … They’ll hit the ground running and ready for Champions League for sure, but to get a full preseason under their belt.”
Could Meza be one of those three to four players?
TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Report
JANUARY 6: With Leandro Gonzalez Pirez’s departure to Club Tijuana reportedly imminent, have Atlanta United found his replacement at center back?
The club reportedly is set to sign Fernando Meza from Necaxa in Liga MX, according to Fox Deportes reporter Raoul Ortiz.
The 29-year-old Argentine, who came up through the San Lorenzo ranks in his homeland, where he was teammates with Five Stripes winger Tito Villalba, is in his second stint with Necaxa with a stint at Chile’s Colo-Colo sandwiched between in more than a decade of professional experience.
If signed, Meza would continue the recent transfer pipeline from Liga MX to MLS.
