MLS club Atlanta United has made an offer for Emmanuel Latte Lath, who plays for Middlesbrough.
The bid, worth £16 million, has prompted both teams to begin transfer discussions. The MLS team is keen on signing the Ivorian player, and the player is quite open to a move to the United States.
The 26-year-old striker has scored 10 goals in 26 matches this season, showcasing an impressive performance.
Atlanta United wants to secure the player during the January transfer window, but if the transfer isn’t completed in time, they will consider alternative options.
Throughout his Middlesbrough career, Latte Lath has scored 28 goals in 64 matches. Middlesbrough is battling for promotion to the Premier League, so they are keen to keep the player.
However, the offer is quite good for Middlesbrough. The budget from the player’s sale could be used to fill the gap in that position.
