Bergamo, 17 June 2025 – Atalanta is at the window waiting for the Cagliari decide whether or not to exercise the definitive redemptions of Michel Adopo and above all of Roberto Piccoli. Redemption set at 4 million for the first and 12 million for the second. So there is a 'nest egg' of 16 million at stake that could enter the Nerazzurri coffers by the end of the month. For the 25-year-old French midfielder, the redemption seems to have already been decided by the rossoblu club, which could close the deal within the week.

Piccoli, who is coming off a positive season with 10 goals scored in the rossoblu shirt, is of interest to many mid-high range teams in Serie A: the 24-year-old centre forward from Sorisole, a boy from Bergamo who grew up in Atalanta youth sector, until his debut in Serie A in 2019 when he was just XNUMX, was liked by Como, Bologna and even by Gasperini's Roma who launched him in Serie A.

With the physique of a 'ram', now an expert after six seasons in Serie A playing between Spezia, Genoa, Verona, Empoli, Lecce and Cagliari, Piccoli is valued at around 16-18 million. If the Cagliari should he not redeem him in this month of June, the Orobic bomber will return to the disposal of Atalanta, who could sell him outright, given the many requests, or keep him in the squad, in a role where there are the two Azzurri centre forwards Retegui and Scamacca and where El Bilal Toure could also return.
