What happened: Atlanta United is in discussions with high-level targets, including Breel Embolo, as reported by Ben Jacobs. The club withheld Emmanuel Latte Lath from its previous match as talks for his departure continue, per Tom Bogert.

Why it matters: An exit for Latte Lath would open a valuable Designated Player spot on Atlanta's roster. This flexibility allows the club to actively pursue incoming transfers during the midseason window.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation of an outgoing transfer and subsequent movement on a new Designated Player signing.
