Impact Santos has found a new club after he departed from Houston last season, with the forward inking a deal with Atlanta for a season. He would start in six of his 20 appearances between his time with Cincinnati and Houston, recording two goals and two assists. With seven years of experience, he will be a solid depth option, although starting time should come sparingly.

Fafa Picault - Signs with Atlanta Picault has signed with Atlanta out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact Picault has found a new club this season and is joining just ahead of opening day, with the attacker inking a deal with Atlanta through 2026, with an option for the 2027 campaign. He last played with Miami, serving more of a rotational role with seven starts in 20 appearances, notching four goals. With Atlanta rebuilding and trying to find consistency in the squad, anyone, including Picault, will have a decent shot at minutes this season.

Elias Baez - Moves to Atlanta Baez has completed a transfer to Atlanta from San Lorenzo.

Impact Baez is in MLS play for the next stage of his career after a successful season with San Lorenzo, starting in all 16 appearances. He would appear as more of a defensive option with the club, as he didn't record a single assist or goal in his time on the field, a promising talent at only 21. However, he will have to compete for time with Pedro Almador, a spot that will be tough to take.

Dominik Chong-Qui - Set to miss 4-6 weeks Chong-Qui will be unavailable for 4-6 weeks because of an MCL sprain he suffered in the preseason, Atlanta reported Tuesday.

Impact Chong-Qui's exact return to action will depend on his recovery process, but he's expected to miss the first three games of the 2026 campaign. He made only a couple of MLS starts last year, producing one shot and four crosses but failing to score or assist from the left flank. Pedro Amador should see significant action in the youngster's absence.

Tristan Muyumba - Appears in preseason Muyumba (knee) was included in Atlanta's starting lineup for Friday's friendly against Lexington SC.

Impact Muyumba should be ready to play immediately in the opening weeks of the 2026 season after recovering from the issue that sidelined him in the final game of the previous season. The midfielder will have a chance to compete for a starting spot with the team lacking options in the potential absence of William Reilly (hamstring) and Ajani Fortune (foot). Over the 2025 campaign, the Frenchman produced an average of 27.7 accurate passes and 3.1 balls recovered per game but failed to make an offensive impact.

Saba Lobzhanidze - Dealt adductor injury Lobzhanidze is suffering from an adductor injury, according to Doug Roberson of AJC.

Impact Lobzhanidze will not play a friendly with his club Friday, as the attacker is suffering from an injury. This will halt his preseason training for the time being, needing to regain fitness in the three weeks leading up to the season. He is in line to be a starter, so the club will hope for only a minor issue.
