Lucas Hoyos will leave Newell’s after a year with virtually no playing time and will continue his career in MLS. The 36-year-old goalkeeper will join Atlanta United, a team once again coached by Gerardo Martino, and will experience his first stint outside of Argentine football.

The goalkeeper, who came up through Lepra and has a history with Vélez, played only one match this year, and it was with the reserves, after recovering from a ligament tear suffered at the end of 2024. With no place in the first team, he will become a free agent at the end of the year.

At Atlanta United, he would sign a contract until December 2026, with an option to renew for one more season. Following the retirement of Brad Guzan and the departure of Josh Cohen, a key opportunity opens up for Hoyos at this stage of his career.
