Inter loom as Atalanta consider Palestra’s January sale – report | OneFootball

According to Corriere dello Sport, Atalanta are considering selling Marco Palestra in the January transfer window, with Inter among the clubs interested in the promising right-back.

Palestra has had an excellent start to the season on loan at Cagliari, but Atalanta could still decide to sell him next month.

La Dea need to climb the table and already value Palestra at €35m-40m, according to Corriere dello Sport. The defender’s sale would allow the Bergamo-based club to bring in reinforcements for new coach Raffaele Palladino.

Inter are among the clubs interested in the 20-year-old, but according to the report, Atalanta have been approached by other Italian and foreign clubs as well.

Palestra, however, is on loan at Cagliari until the end of the season, so any early move would need approval from the Sardinians.

This is where Marco Brescianini and Daniel Maldini come to play. Cagliari are interested in the Atalanta pair, and their loan to Sardinia in January would partially compensate for Palestra’s possible departure.
