Reports in Italy suggest that after just one season in Italy, Atlalanta striker El Bilal Touré might be on the move again. Stuttgart has expressed strong interest in the Atalanta striker, with the German club actively pursuing the young talent to bolster their attacking options.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Bundesliga side are seriously considering the 22-year-old Malian international to strengthen their forward line. Contacts between the two clubs have already been established as they try to find common ground between Atalanta’s valuation and Stuttgart’s financial capabilities.
Touré joined Atalanta last summer in a club-record deal but has struggled to make a significant impact in his debut Serie A season. The striker made 17 appearances across all competitions for the Bergamo-based club, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
Despite his limited playing time, Touré’s potential has not gone unnoticed. Stuttgart see him as a valuable addition to their squad as they look to improve their attacking options for the upcoming season.
The potential departure of Touré comes as Atalanta is reportedly in talks to sell defender Berat Djimsiti to Al-Rayyan, indicating a possible reshaping of the squad under manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether Stuttgart can meet Atalanta’s demands and if the Italian club is willing to part ways with their record signing after just one season. The coming days could prove crucial in determining El Bilal Touré’s immediate future in European football.
