Report – Inter Milan Identify Atalanta Owned Rising Star As ‘D’ Factor To Add Skill On The Flank | OneFootball

Serie A giants Inter Milan have earmarked Atalanta’s rising star Marco Palestra as one of their top targets ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri view the 21-year-old as a perfect upgrade on their current options on the flank.

Widely regarded as one of the hottest prospects in European football, Marco Palestra looks destined for a high-profile transfer this summer.

Indeed, the Italian wingback has enjoyed a meteoric rise during his season-long spell at Cagliari, tallying one goal and four assists in 32 Serie A matches.

However, the prodigious star will return to his parent club Atalanta at the end of the season, with La Dea ready to cash in on their prized asset.

Inter Milan Earmark Marco Palestra as ‘D’ Factor

Aware of Palestra’s potential, Atalanta have slapped a stratospheric €40 million price tag on the young gun.

Meanwhile, Inter and several Premier League clubs have already set their sights on the Italian starlet.

With Denzel Dumfries’ future at San Siro hanging by a thread, Cristian Chivu is keen to sign a top-class wingback.

Palestra fits the bill, especially considering his eye-catching technical qualities.

Indeed, only Juventus talisman Kenan Yildiz has completed more successful dribbles than Palestra (65) in Serie A this term.

Palestra’s ability to glide past defenders and carry the ball into dangerous areas make him a constat threat down the flank.

Furthermore, Inter desperately lacked a player of his characteristics this season.
