Atlanta United announced Monday the club has signed defensive midfielder Franco Ibarra from Argentinos Juniors of the Argentine Primera División. Ibarra will occupy an international roster spot pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.

“Franco has only begun to scratch the surface of his ability and we’re pleased to add a young player of his quality to our group,” Atlanta United vice president and technical director Carlos Bocanegra said. “Although only 19 years old, he already broke through Argentinos Juniors First Team in November and experienced some big matches during their league season. He’s an aggressive, athletic midfielder and we’re excited to watch his development and progression continue at Atlanta United.”
