Emmanuel Latte Lath Set £22.5 million Transfer
Boro striker Emmanuel Latte Lath is on the verge of a £22.5 million transfer to Atlanta United, with both clubs finalising the deal. Middlesbrough are now seeking a replacement ahead of the transfer window deadline.
Emmanuel Latte Lath is poised to depart Middlesbrough for Atlanta United, with both clubs finalising a transfer reportedly valued at around £22.5 million, as reported by The Northern Echo. The 26-year-old striker is believed to have completed his medical, with the final details of the deal expected to be wrapped up within days.
Middlesbrough had anticipated Latte Lath's exit this month and are now actively seeking a replacement ahead of the transfer deadline, which is set for Monday night.
Negotiations between the club and Atlanta have been ongoing for several weeks, following the Major League Soccer team's initial interest in the forward. Although Atlanta explored other options, Latte Lath has consistently been their primary target, and discussions are now centred on finalising the transfer specifics.
Should the deal be completed, it will mark a record sale for Middlesbrough and set a new benchmark for transfer fees within MLS. Notably, several Premier League clubs have been monitoring Latte Lath's situation, although none have yet made formal offers.
Latte Lath has scored 27 goals in 59 Championship matches, scoring 11 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions this season.
