Summer is about to end, and with it, the time for friendlies: Atalanta and Juventus face off in the 26th edition of the Achille and Cesare Bortolotti Trophy for the final test before the start of the league.
In Bergamo, there’s already a Serie A atmosphere, with Juric’s Nerazzurri looking to find consistency after a pre-season of ups and downs, and Tudor’s Bianconeri arriving in Bergamo eager to confirm the good form shown in summer friendlies.
The appointment is set for tonight at 20:45, in a test that promises fireworks and will also feature some players whose futures are uncertain in the transfer market.
La Dea, without Gasperini and striker Retegui, is searching for new certainties and is watching with interest the possible return of a former idol like Robin Gosens.
Juve, on the other hand, brings to Bergamo a squad list full of talent but also uncertainties linked to ongoing transfer 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 one week before the official debut?
The Nerazzurri club is experiencing intense days on the transfer front, with the uncertainty surrounding Lookman and a squad that still needs significant reinforcements.
Among the main targets stands out the name of Robin Gosens: as reported by Fabrizio Romano, Atalanta has already made an attempt by offering 12 million, but Fiorentina rejected it, considering the German winger essential.
It would be a sensational return for a player who made recent history for La Dea: 121 appearances, 24 goals, and 16 assists in Serie A, with standout seasons in both the Champions League and the German national team.
The list of Bianconeri called up to Bergamo offers some interesting insights. Igor Tudor can count on the presence of new striker Jonathan David, a special focus after his first goals in a Juve shirt, but also on players at the center of transfer negotiations.
In particular, the spotlight is on Nico Gonzalez, targeted by Atletico Madrid, and Douglas Luiz, who is under strong pressure from Nottingham Forest.
Two players likely to leave who could use the stage of this prestigious friendly to showcase themselves and send new messages to their suitors.
