Beiglböck and Juillet ("On a problem of optimal transport under marginal martingale constraints") introduced the left-curtain martingale coupling of probability measures $μ$ and $ν$, and proved that, when the initial law $μ$ is continuous, it is supported by the graphs of two functions. We extend the later result by constructing the generalised left-curtain martingale coupling and show that for an arbitrary starting law $μ$ it is characterised by two appropriately defined lower and upper functions. As an application of this result we derive the model-independent upper bound of an American put option. This extends recent results of Hobson and Norgilas ("Robust bounds for the American Put") on the atom-free case.
