Not in Italy but still want to watch Atalanta-Juventus? Watch it on OneFootball! Buy the match (available only outside Italy) for 2.99 euros.

In Bergamo, you can already feel the Serie A atmosphere, with Juric’s Nerazzurri called upon to find some consistency after a pre-season full of ups and downs, and Tudor’s Bianconeri arriving in Bergamo eager to confirm the good form shown during the summer friendlies.

The appointment is set for tonight at 8:45 PM, for a test that promises sparks and will also feature players whose futures are still uncertain as the transfer window draws to a close.

La Dea, now without Gasperini and striker Retegui, is searching for new certainties and is watching with interest the return of a former idol like Robin Gosens.

Juve, for its part, travels to Bergamo with a roster full of talented players, but also many uncertainties due to ongoing negotiations.

It’s not Serie A yet, but the tension and curiosity are those of the big occasions. Who will be able to send the strongest signal a week before the season kicks off?

Atalanta: An Offer for Gosens’ Return

The Nerazzurri club is experiencing hectic days in the transfer market, with uncertainty surrounding Lookman and a squad still in need of significant reinforcements.

Among the main targets, the name Robin Gosens stands out: as reported by Fabrizio Romano, Atalanta has already made an attempt by offering 12 million, but this was rejected by Fiorentina, who consider the German full-back essential.

It would be a sensational return for a player who has marked the recent history of La Dea: 121 appearances, 24 goals, and 16 assists in Serie A, with seasons as an absolute protagonist between the Champions League and the German national team.

Juventus: Douglas Luiz and Nico Gonzalez Are Present

The list of Bianconeri players called up to Bergamo offers interesting prospects. Igor Tudor can count on the presence of new striker Jonathan David, closely watched after his first goals in a Juve shirt, but also on players at the center of transfer market negotiations.

In particular, the spotlight is on Nico Gonzalez, targeted by Atlético Madrid, and Douglas Luiz, who is under strong pressure from Nottingham Forest.

Two players on their way out who could take advantage of the prestigious stage of this friendly match to showcase themselves and send a new message to their suitors.
