Atalanta are tracking some targets to replace Robin Gosens. In particular, they have been linked on Villarreal’s Alfonso Pedraza, Genoa’s Andrea Cambiaso and Lazio’s Manuel Lazzari. However, they might ultimately elect not to sign any new player in the final days of the January window.
According to Alfredo Pedullà, the management received rave reviews about the Villarreal left-back from the scouts. He has posted 6 goals and 15 assists in 116 appearances since joining in 2018. Given the size of the investment, he is more likely to be a summer objective, though. La Dea might also part ways with Hans Hateboer at the end of the season, Corriere di Bergamo reports. The Dutchman tried to force his way out during the winter.
The Orobici have also inquired about Andrea Cambiaso, who is on Juventus and Inter’s radar, Sky Sport relays. They are always keen on bringing in youngsters they can groom. In previous weeks, the Nerazzurri gathered intel about Manuel Lazzari. However, it is always challenging to negotiate with Lazio. His price tag remains considerable even though he has had a reduced role in 2021-2022, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi commented on Gosens leaving: “He has given us a lot and had the ambition of moving to a top club. I think it was super deserved. It was only fair on our part to allow his departure, considering how meaningful his contribution has been over the last few years. We are keeping an eye on the market, but we already have a few options at the position.”
