As Atalanta prepares to face Torino in the second round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, the club’s CEO, Luca Percassi, shared insights on the team’s current status and transfer market activities. Speaking to Dazn before the match, Percassi reflected on the team’s performance and future plans.

“We started well,” Percassi remarked, referring to Atalanta’s impressive opening match against Lecce. “It was a beautiful game, but we have a lot to improve. Today’s match will be challenging, and we start from scratch with the goal of performing well.”

Regarding potential transfers, Percassi emphasized the club’s readiness to seize opportunities. “If there are opportunities to strengthen, we will certainly take them. We are vigilant,” he stated, highlighting Atalanta’s proactive approach in the transfer market.
