Atalanta weigh Marco Palestra future, wing-back ‘to rejoin’ first-team after Cagliari loan | OneFootball

Atalanta are weighing a major decision on Marco Palestra after the wing-back’s standout loan at Cagliari and his return to Bergamo.

TMW reports that the 20-year-old is set to rejoin the first-team squad next season, although strong outside interest means a long-term stay is not assured. His form in Sardinia has highlighted tireless work on the flank and tactical poise beyond his years.

Monaco pushed hard last summer and two Premier League clubs lodged interest, with scouts from leading British sides now tracking him weekly.

Juventus attempted to move in January, but Atalanta deemed their opening offer insufficient.

The dilemma is financial versus sporting. Palestra fits the Nerazzurri’s model, yet as an academy product his sale would deliver a significant plusvalenza. With the summer window approaching, Atalanta must choose whether to cash in or resist Europe’s suitors and make him a pillar of their future.
