Kolasinac ‘targeted’ by Schalke 04 after Atalanta friendly | OneFootball

Sead Kolasinac could return to Schalke 04, with the club targeting the Atalanta defender, according to Sky Sport Italia.

It comes amid a period of change at Atalanta after a difficult season following Gian Piero Gasperini’s departure, with Maurizio Sarri now in charge. Berat Djimsiti has left after a decade in Bergamo to join Al-Diriyah FC.

Kolasinac, 33, came through Schalke’s youth ranks and broke into the senior side before moving to Arsenal in 2017. He later returned to the club on loan in 2021.

He joined Atalanta as a free agent in the summer of 2023 and is under contract only until the end of the season. Any sale would likely be for a nominal fee.

It is likely the club will leave the decision to the Bosnia and Herzegovina international. The topic may have been discussed during last week’s friendly in Gelsenkirchen, which Atalanta won 3-0.
