This is not a good situation for Atlanta as a club because there are rumours about lookman leaving the club as athletic Madrid are interested in him with the way that they are letting go of their players I really doubt that they can be competitive going into the coming season because it will be difficult to find a striker like Retegui in the transfer market these day's
Ultimately, it's a small team that needs to make money to survive, and i totally understand why they did that.
For them, that money means being able to manage the team with peace of mind for at least 3 years, and that's obviously priceless if you think about it.
They always look at their wallets not out of greed but to know if they are financially covered.
