Atalanta are closing in on Emil Holm to bolster their right flank. They missed out on Wilfried Singo, who officially joined Monaco.

Atalanta Try to Bounce Back After Missing Out on Singo

Atalanta won’t sign Wilfried Singo but are trying to snap up Emil Holm. La Dea attempted to orchestrate a swap with Brandon Soppy with Torino. The youngster rejected, and Monaco came into the picture and quickly came to terms.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the starlet will transfer to Ligue 1 for a €10M fee. He had also been linked to Juventus and Milan earlier in the summer. The Granata are pondering which wing to address. They are tracking Nicolò Corrado for the left one. He’s at Ternana, but Inter control his future through a buy-back clause.

Since they won’t sign Singo, Atalanta re-accelerated the talks to onboard Holm, as they have sold Joakim Maehle to Wolfsburg. Per Tuttomercatoweb, they offered a €10M loan with an obligation to buy. There’s no agreement with the Aquilotti nor the player at this stage, DAZN relays.

Sassuolo are after the Swede but face the same issues. If the talent moved to Bergamo, they would pivot toward Feyenoord’s Marcus Pedersen, who has been linked to Torino as well, Alfredo Pedullà relays.

Our Take on Atalanta, Singo, and Holm

The fee was small, and they could have gone ahead anyway, so other factors must have played a role. The Spezia starlet is an equally, if not more, promising prospect, but his side probably wants a lot more money than what reported.
