Atlanta United completed its third signing for the season with the addition of former Barcelona youth player Adrian Gill on Tuesday. The contract is through June 2027, with annual options through the 2029-30 season.

Gill, 20 years old, advanced through Barcelona’s academy mostly playing as a midfielder, but likely will be used as a fullback by Atlanta United.

Gill’s parents moved to Spain when he was young. He joined Cornellà in 2017. He was scouted and signed by Barcelona’s academy in 2018. He signed a first-team contract in 2022.

Gill has made 10 appearances for U.S. youth national teams.

Gill joins defender Tomás Jacob and goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos as Atlanta United’s signings during the current window.

Atlanta United will host USL-side Lexington on Friday in its first preseason friendly. It will open its season Feb. 21 at Cincinnati.
