News out of Spain on Saturday night suggests it could be close to happening has Espanyol manager Quique Sánchez Flores confirmed that the 36-year-old will be leaving the club on Monday.

While it’s not confirmed that Atlanta is his destination, all signs point to that being a strong possibility.

Demichelis only appeared two times for the La Liga side after joining at the beginning of the 2016-17 season on a one-year contract.
