Atalanta on the hunt for a market opportunity, not only in attack. After Scalvini’s injury, adding to that of Kossounou, the Bergamo club could also move for the rearguard. Central defender Nicola Bertola, currently one of the Serie B prospects attracting the most attention, is liked. The Under-21 player’s contract, however, expires with Spezia in five months, so interested parties Atalanta, Inter, Napoli and Juventus will wait until June to close the deal.
The other pawn on the clipboard is Strahinja Pavlovic: there is not only Stuttgart on his trail, but also and still coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta. The former Salzburg man is on the fringes of Milan’s plans but has great potential. For the Serbian born in 2001, the Rossoneri management would therefore like to cash in and not sell the player under the simple loan formula. Unless a buy-back obligation is included, as the defense emergency of the last hours might dictate.
