Two Atlanta United moves were announced Friday that will affect the club’s defense this season.

United signed defender Fernando Meza via transfer from Club Tijuana of Liga MX using Targeted Allocation Money, and transferred defender Leandro González Pirez to Club Tijuana. Meza will occupy an international roster slot and be added to Atlanta’s roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.
