Atalanta Making Headway to Onboard Holm from Spezia

Atalanta are closing in on Emil Holm to bolster their right flank. They missed out on Wilfried Singo, who officially joined Monaco for €10M. They offered about as much to Spezia, which asked for a little more, Sky relays.

La Dea proposed a €2M season-long loan with a €8M obligation to buy. The Aquilotti demanded a few more million, but the parties are close. The Bergamaschi have left the competition in their tracks.

Holm was linked to Juventus and Sassuolo in the recent past, but Atalanta moved with more conviction. They parted ways with Joakim Maehle, while Hans Hateboer is coming off an ACL tear. The Bianconeri seemingly gave up the chase after signing Timothy Weah. Instead, the Emilian side had reservations about the price tag.

The Neroverdi are on the verge of acquiring Marcus Pedersen from Feyenoord for about €7M in the same position. As for the Swede, he scored once and tallied 2 assists in 23 appearances with Spezia before his season was cut short by a sports hernia. He has recuperated and featured regularly during the summer friendlies.

Our Take on Atalanta and Holm

La Dea is at it again, especially if the fee was affordable as reported. He showed massive potential, starred all over the wing, and could only grow under the tutelage of Gian Piero Gasperini.
