Giōrgos Giakoumakīs to sign for Atlanta United for £4.3 million in hijacked transfer

Atlanta United have hijacked Urawa Red Diamonds’ attempt to sign Giōrgos Giakoumakīs from Scottish side Celtic. The transfer has been given the green light by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, and he will be completing the switch very soon. 

Celtic have accepted a bid worth $4.7 million and personal terms are set to be agreed soon as well. He will become a designated player for the MLS club, since they have a spot open ahead of the new season.
