Pity Martinez of Atlanta United is set to join Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Per a report by The Athletic, Atlanta United have agreed to terms with Al-Nassr to sell the Argentine. According to the report, the transfer is pending a medical and for Pity to agree to personal terms. The fee is of $18 million. Still only 27 years old, Pity joined for a league club record fee of $15.9 million last year.
The former Huracan and River Plate man joined Atlanta United last year and has already played for the Argentina national team.
Good move! Garbage player pity is belongs to Garbage asian league!
This is a serious warning to Argentinian football and young players……,.but will they learn
…….?????………MLS is the most likely destination for most of the Argentinian young stars…….
Game Over Pity for Pity Martinez; AFA have to improved their domestic leaque and make it more competitive and win the Copa Liberdatores, this can make the young talents grow and shine and attract elite clubs to hire… Unless it is okay and happy to sell the youngs one with small tag price to save the pockets
It’s over, what a waste! But then again it’s been over for him since the day he decided to go to MLS.
case study of how to kill career by going to MLS. The guy was pretty good & had a chance 2 years back to seal the left flank for NT. Worried for Barco & Pavon( atleast he is on loan) . Crazy amount of talented youngsters are going there – Alvaro Barreal , Julian Carranza , Matias Pellegrini are all legit talent & sealed recent MLS deals . Almendra is also being targeted by LA .
I can understand Insua, Piatti, Gaitan, or even Higuain deciding MLS. Nice place to retire & some good dollars , relatively closer to home & spanish crowd . But clubs should not sacrifice real good youngsters for quick dollars. Very bad trend.
While Pity didnt do much in Atlanta , there was transitions & instability also. He should have waited & made 1 attempt for Europe ( atleast mid tier club in Serie a or la liga )
Ouch..quite a fall from amazing talent at River to very inconsistent at ATL United. Now he’s off to Saudi league = game over.

Wrong decisions massacred his potential path-breaking career in NT. Dude ruined his own chances.
I hope he does a lanzini-esque performances.
No way, he is much older than Lanzini back then, dont interest european clubs with such age, Barco needs to leave asap till not too late.
Don’t forget that Papu is slaying serie A greats at the age of 32 with the size of a 70s refrigerator.
Success is unpredictable and you never know when it happens.
Papu Gomez plays in Italy since 2010 when he was 22 years old.
But papu is playing in Europe for quite some time where as in this case if he doesn’t play in Europe till 30 no European club would sign him bcoz all the clubs want to invest in youth(except barca-pjanic). At least play in some competitive league which can help him to grow but not southie for sure
Agreed with Barco 100%. Hes incredibly talented, he needs to GTFO out of MLS and head to spain, italy, or england.
What the hell? $$$$$ talks and bullshit runs the marathon as the saying goes!
Speaking of which, El Pipita is close to signing with Inter Miami……..too bad because I believe is a premature move right now.
Higuain could easily play in a Fiorentina caliber team, and Banega would be still a star in Sevilla, south american footballers are so hungry for money.
Everyone needs money.
Let them earn from wherever they get it.
First of all why they go to Europe? They could have stayed in Argentina…!
If they get less money in Europe…they would prefer to go to Europe?
Because Europe league belongs to top5 in the world
Sevilla did not extend Benega’s contract.
What a pity!!
Farmer Pity
Going to Arab but he is still 27! What a pity -_-
I know right. I hope he leaves from there at the end of his career to play somewhere half respectable. Even if it’s just Argentina or a second division team in the top five. But it’s a lost cause. There’s no getting him back from this. We can forget about him.
