Atlanta United places Mateusz Klich on waivers, eyes Colombian midfielder

Atlanta United placed midfielder Mateusz Klich on waivers Monday.

Klich, who was acquired in a trade with D.C. United before the season, has made 16 appearances this season with the Five Stripes, starting nine of them, and recorded one assist.

Waiving Klich would free an international slot and a senior slot. The club is still working on trading Efrain Morales to Montreal. It is unlikely that Morales, a Homegrown signee, will participate in Atlanta United training Tuesday.

Atlanta United reportedly is pursuing Colombian midfielder Steven Alzate, who currently plays for Hull City of the English Football League. Atlanta United declined to comment on that report.

Klich’s contract is expiring at the end of the season, and he has stated that he will return to Poland to play.
