Róber Pier is reportedly in advanced discussions with Atlas to join the team and bolster their defense. He is set to move as a free agent following the conclusion of his contract with Sporting de Gijón. The transfer is made easier by the fact that both Sporting de Gijón and Atlas are owned by Grupo Orlegi. Pier is anticipated to sign a two-year deal that will keep him at Atlas until the summer of 2027. The 30-year-old Spanish central defender, who has spent most of his career in Spain's Segunda División and was a champion with Levante in 2017, will join Atlas to fill the void left by Martín Nervo's departure. Atlas, under the guidance of Gonzalo Pineda, views Pier as a crucial addition to their defense as they gear up for the forthcoming Liga MX season.
