Si chiude per poco più di dieci milioni di euro: the coup in Italy is ready to be done by Atalanta, which could overtake Juventus in the negotiation. Here is the situation that is being created
He prefers Atalanta to Juventus for the possibility of definitely playing more games, and starting ahead in the hierarchies, than he would and could do with Thiago Motta on the bench. Of course, the one who relaunched him during last season was precisely the new coach of the Bianconeri. A situation that is therefore to be monitored.
Certainly, Alexis Saelemarkers, who returned to Milan for the end of his loan, does not want to stay at Milanello. Nor does the Rossoneri club seem so intent on retaining him over the coming season. A farewell on a permanent basis is being considered, with a price of 12million euros set that could still drop a little should any club be really interested. And according to Corriere di Bergamo, precisely, Atalanta is seriously thinking about it.
Saelemaekers to Atalanta, Juve overtaken
In short, the choice of the Dutch offensive outfielder is mainly related to the possibility of putting minutes in his legs over the next year: finding continuity, in a team that plays the Champions League, that will play the European Super Cup. He certainly does not have his place assured, but the competition is evidently less than what he might find around Turin, with Motta setting up a real revolution.
We will see what happens in the coming weeks in this aspect, with the feeling that Gasperini absolutely wants to raise the level of his squad. Important goals, the kind that can also give hope of going ahead in the Champions League as much as possible (the new formula is tempting also from an economic point of view) and who knows, maybe hit another qualification to the next European top competition. La Dea is now a reality and attracts a lot.
