Atalanta are actively working on the transfer market, with their sights set on Kevin Danso as a potential reinforcement. The club has made its first offer for the 25-year-old Austrian defender, who impressed during the recent European Championship.
Calciomercato report how last year, Lens rejected Napoli’s advances by extending Danso’s contract until 2027. However, circumstances have changed, and a €25 million bid could see Danso make the move to Serie A. Additionally, Leonardo Balerdi of Marseille remains a potential candidate for Atalanta’s defense.
Meanwhile, Berat Djimsiti has attracted serious interest from Al-Rayyan. The Qatari club has been in ongoing talks with the Albanian international’s agents, presenting a lucrative contract offer. However, Atalanta is holding out for a substantial transfer fee, valuing Djimsiti at €15 million or more due to his leadership role under coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
In the attacking department, Atalanta’s coach Gian Piero Gasperini can breathe a sigh of relief regarding Ademola Lookman. The Nigerian winger had been a target for Al Ittihad, which posed a significant threat to Atalanta’s plans. However, following Al Ittihad’s record signing of Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa, their interest in Lookman appears to have waned.
Lookman, who was a standout performer last season, is expected to remain with the club. Atalanta is also evaluating their attacking options, with Stuttgart showing interest in El Bilal Touré. The Ivorian forward, who had a promising end to the previous season despite a lengthy injury, could be on his way to the German club if an official offer is made.
