While they are tending to a multi-player deal with Torino, Atalanta are about to complete a purchase they have long set up, as Emil Holm will take the medicals on Wednesday. La Dea sprinted in the last couple of weeks, taking advantage of the fact Juventus no longer pursued him after showing interest at the start of the summer.
According to Sky, the Bergamaschi will onboard the Swede on a €2.5M season-long loan with a €8.5M option to buy. They needed to touch up their previous offer to sway Spezia. Youngster Salvatore Elia will temporarily join the Aquilotti for two years as a side piece, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
Holm garnered the attention of Atalanta and a few other sides during an impressive maiden season in Serie A, even though it was cut short by a groin injury. He underwent surgery to address it in April. He has been held out from the first seasonal matches while awaiting the transfer to come together.
Per Sportitalia, the operation with Torino has slowed down. The Granata are hesitant about selling Alessandro Buongiorno. Moreover, they haven’t come to terms with Duvan Zapata just yet. There’s not much time to make all the pieces fit.
Per Gianluca Di Marzio, the Orobici strongly want the center-back and will insist. Torino are poised to sign Brandon Soppy regardless, hence, Atalanta proceeded to close the Holm deal.
