SPAL midfielder Matteo Prati was inches away from sealing the deal with Serie B outfit Palermo but has instead rejected the Rosanero to join Cagliari.

Palermo Set to Beat Serie A Sides for Italy U20 Prodigy Prati

SPAL’s Matteo Prati is a midfielder in demand, with no less than four clubs interested in signing him, including three from the top tier. However, it is Palermo from Serie B who look likely to bag his signature despite advanced links with Sassuolo, which wish for another young addition to their midfield.
Atalanta missed out on Rodrigo Becao but are close to Isak Hien and El Bilal Touré. They will accelerate their pursuits after some exits.

Atalanta Line Up Two Signings from Verona and Almeria

Atalanta missed out on Rodrigo Becao, who will join Fenerbahce, but are close to Isak Hien and El Bilal Touré. They will accelerate their pursuits once they sell least one defender. Merih Demiral has been excluded from their pre-season retreat because he’s on his way out.
Hien is contracted to Verona until 2026, taking advantage of which the Venetians have increased their asking price by €5M as the window comes to a close.

Atalanta Haven’t Abandoned Pursuit of Verona Defender

Atalanta are negotiating to onboard Rodrigo Becao, but they haven’t forgotten Isak Hien either. They have come to terms with the player but not with Verona at this stage. They are closer to the youngster, as Fenerbahce put forth a strong bid for the Udinese veteran.
