What happened: The defender leaves MLS for Israel’s first division. Atlanta said the transfer fee is undisclosed.
Why it matters: The move removes a senior defender during the MLS secondary transfer window. Two July defensive additions give the club options to absorb the departure.
By the numbers: Atlanta has 11 points through 14 matches (3-9-2), averaging 0.79 points per game.
What to watch: Atlanta can continue making moves before MLS’s secondary transfer window closes Sept. 2.
