Breel Embolo, the striker for the Switzerland national team and Rennes, is close to a transfer to Atlanta United. The two parties are nearing an agreement, with the deal reportedly valued at around seventeen million euros, excluding bonuses. The 29-year-old forward joined Rennes last summer from Monaco and played a key role in securing the club’s return to European competitions by scoring eight goals in Ligue 1.
However, by the end of the season, Embolo lost his regular starting spot due to a tactical shift. After participating in the World Cup, the Swiss international explored opportunities in Italy, but ultimately found the offer from Major League Soccer to be the most suitable choice.
