Atalanta, a market to stay at the top. But the coach issue needs to be resolved
The Nerazzurri club wants to remain among the top 4 in Italy and in the top ten of the Champions League. And they would like to do so with Gasperini, to whom they have proposed a renewal until 2027
Marco Carnesecchi, now a certainty
THEAtalanta wants to define the future of his bench shortly, by the end of the championship, to then start immediately with the market. Where there will be no revolution.
THEcorporate goal the only thing left to do is to keep the team going very high levelor, among the top four in the league and among the top 10/12 in the Champions League, to play the round of XNUMX. Always ambitious goals for a club that has raised the bar a lot over the years: now for the Goddess of Percassi, representative of a small territory like Bergamo, it is becoming normal to face great team of European metropolises like Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Arsenal and play on equal terms. And it is becoming normal to have 15/16 nationals in its own organization.

The names of important talents are already circulating, such as the 21-year-old French jewel Rayan Cherki, sought by the top English clubs. It will also depend on any transfers. Atalanta's line always remains the same: jewels like Ederson and Lookman pwill leave only with offers deemed adequate, at least 60 million, and will be replaced with important purchases of 25/30 million. And all the others will remain, from the goalkeeper Carnesecchi to the bombers Retegui and Scamacca (which will be like a new purchase), until The Ketelaere and to the block of blue millennials. But first the issue of the coach must be resolved by defining the immediate future with Gasperini.
