Breel Embolo is reportedly set to join Atlanta United from Stade Rennais for a fee exceeding €17 million. An agreement with the club has been reached following negotiations influenced by the Swiss forward's fixed release clause. Embolo had a successful 2025-26 season, contributing decisively with 10 goals and three assists in 34 appearances. He previously joined Rennes after a spell with AS Monaco and was part of the Swiss squad at the last World Cup, where he scored twice. His transfer, if finalized, would make him the second most expensive signing in Atlanta United's history.
