TRANSFER MARKET. The Nerazzurri club is in no hurry for the talent (request 30 million, offer just over 20), nor for Jashari from Milan.

There is always a certain distance between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen for Kerim Alajbegovic: for the negotiation to progress, demand and offer need to get closer. The Germans want 30 million, Atalanta has exceeded 20 but has no intention of pushing too far: it could close around 25, but first, Bayer will need to make a move. Probably the Aspirins are waiting for signals from other interested clubs, from Chelsea to Arsenal, up to Milan and Fiorentina: at the moment, however, only Atalanta has come forward (and also has an agreement with the player), so they remain the favorite. There is no hurry in Zingonia: Alajbegovic is seen as an extra player to buy, not an obligation.
On Jashari
Also waiting on the Jashari front: Modric is extending with Milan and this could distance the Swiss from Milanello. Amorim and the player indicate they want to continue together, but in the meantime, the Rossoneri midfield is full of redundancies and a decision will be made upon the former Bruges player’s return from vacation: Atalanta, at that point, would be ready to pounce. Jashari is the priority and there is no plan B, not even Ricci: others would only be considered if a definitive no came from Milan.

The defense
As for the defense and the possible Romagnoli opportunity, on Wednesday, July 22, the player was reinstated in Lazio and underwent medical examinations awaiting news from Qatar. His move to Al-Sadd is frozen: the reasons are logistical (there has been stagnation in Qatar after the death of the former emir), regulatory (the number of foreigners has been lowered), and perhaps technical (coach Lucescu Junior seems to have other ideas). Situation to monitor: Atalanta remains watchful.
Outgoings
Outgoings, rumors about De Ketelaere targeted by Bayern and PSG and about Carnesecchi requested by Juventus (in an operation with Di Gregorio plus money): monster offers would be needed, because Atalanta intends to secure those two and would rather sacrifice Scalvini or Ahanor.
