Atalanta signing of El Bilal Touré from Almeria and the departure of Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United marks the most nifty piece of business and trendsetting transfer window in the club’s history.
Atalanta have successfully put their record departure to paper, sealing Rasmus Hojlund’s exit as the club’s most profitable transfer in history. The Danish marksman’s departure to Manchester United in a five-year deal worth €85M including add-ons is worth the aggregate of the previous two-highest sales executed by the La Dea – Cristian Romero departed to Tottenham Hotspur for €50M last season, and Dejan Kulusevski to Juventus for €35M.

The aforementioned are followed by Franck Kessié (€32M to Milan), Alessandro Bastoni (€31.1M to Inter), Robin Gosens (€27.4M to Inter), Andrea Conti (€24M to Milan), Bryan Cristante (€22M to Roma), Amad Diallo (€21.3M to Manchester United), and Gianluca Mancini (€21M to Roma). Hojlund was acquired from Sturm Graz for €17.2M last season when he was just 19.
While Atalanta’s departures have contributed to the exceptional transfer market business, the club has treaded carefully when it comes to arrivals. 21-year-old El Bilal Toure’s arrival worth €28M is the Bergamo outfit’s most expensive acquisition.
