Athletistic/ Football. Alexey Miranchuk may change clubs. The Russian midfielder of Atalanta has received an offer from Atlanta United, who are ready to pay at least 10 million euros for his transfer.

Here’s how American football fans reacted to the news on social media:

@JesusIsNotPLProven:

– He just had his best season at Atalanta, didn’t he? It’s incredible to see that he’s ready to go to the United States.

@tromperie42:

– Miranchuk’s move will be a great move for Atlanta: the club has money, and there is also a place for Alexey in the lineup. However, I can’t help but think that his nationality could be a problem for the league.

@Rickjames:

– I thought MLS had issued a strict directive prohibiting clubs in the league from signing Russian players. Or am I wrong?

@Asprilla18:

– You can’t make transfers with Russian teams, but transferring a player from another league is not considered a problem. In my opinion, it’s fair.

@Amphibious_Fire:

– Yes, there are a lot of Russians in the NHL, and no one is against them, regardless of their position. Ovechkin is a great example.

@ReallyDanWeiner:

– Miranchuk had the best indicators in Serie A in terms of expected goals and expected assists per 90 minutes of play. If we take into account the difference in class between the leagues, then such a transfer could be a simple bombing.

@tac0deletion3:

– Miranchuk is a great player who will tear up MLS.

@Andoranop:

– I’m not impressed. The guy has a lot of muscle injuries in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons. Last season, he scored only 4 goals in 42 games. However, he should do well in MLS if he can avoid injuries.

@kabobtide:

– As for me, it would be a dream transfer.

@jayacoop:

– Paying 11 million for this guy seems a bit too much to me.

@ElFrostyOrange:

– Judging by the statistics on specialized sites, he is a pretty big creator, but it is worth saying that I expected our main star to be younger.

@Atlanchester:

– But you will not have to worry about the fact that in the near future he will leave for matches of the national team.

@RobUsry:

– Atlanta has never made a bad transfer from Serie A – that’s all I can say about the Miranchuk news.

@HAHiguita:

– Wow, this will be a big move for Atlanta. The 28-year-old point guard is an ideal option for our management.

Recall that Miranchuk moved to Italy in the fall of 2020. Previously, he played for Lokomotiv Moscow.

In Serie A, the Russian midfielder played for Atalanta and also on loan for Torino. Alexey’s contract with the Bergamo club is valid for one more season

Last season, Miranchuk played 42 matches in three tournaments, totaling 16 effective actions (4 goals and 12 assists). Previously, the midfielder won the Europa League.
