Miles Robinson makes his choice! Star USMNT defender joins FC Cincinnati as free agent after Atlanta United exit

The United States men's national team defender left The Five Stripes after seven years and has now joined the 2023 Supporters' Shield winners ahead of the 2024 MLS season, the club confirmed on Wednesday. Robinson who joined Atlanta United in 2017, became a free agent at the end of the 2023 MLS season. The club reportedly made an offer to retain the defender's service by using targeted allocation money (TAM), but the player's camp did not agree to the deal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After signing for the club, the defender told the club's <a href="https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/fc-cincinnati-strengthen-back-line-with-signing-of-atlanta-united-fc-and-usmnt-s" target="_blank">official website</a>, "I’m very excited to be signing for FC Cincinnati. This is an amazing organization from top to bottom, and I will do everything in my power to win more trophies for the passionate fans and outstanding people of this city. I’m ecstatic to play my first home game at TQL Stadium."

WHAT DID ROBINSON SAY?

After becoming a free agent, the 26-year-old also had offers from Europe. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-miles-robinson-mls-fc-cincinnati-ricardo-pepi-sergino-dest-malik-tillman-psv/blt8c6992a68a2ae4dd" target="_blank">Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven reportedly had shown interest in the player</a> along with a Premier League club who initiated contact with his representatives.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The central defender made his USMNT debut in September 2019 against Mexico and since then has appeared in 27 international matches where he scored thrice.

The Orange and Blue had failed to progress beyond the Conference Finals last season as they bowed out of the competition after losing to Columbus Crew 3-2. They will kick off the new MLS season on February 25 against Toronto FC.
