Atalanta are gearing up for a lucrative summer transfer window as English clubs circle around two of their standout players, Ademola Lookman and Ederson.
The Serie A side plans to capitalize on the Premier League’s financial power, with newly appointed Director of Global Development John Murtough tasked with securing significant fees for the duo.
Lookman, who finished 14th in last year’s Ballon d’Or rankings, had a phenomenal season that included leading Atalanta to Europa League glory.
With previous experience in the Premier League at Everton, Fulham, and Leicester City, the winger has drawn the attention of Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Ederson, one of Italy’s top holding midfielders, has sparked interest from both Manchester United and Manchester City.
Atalanta has a track record of profiting from Premier League transactions, having sold players like Amad Diallo and Rasmus Højlund to United, Cristian Romero to Tottenham, and Timothy Castagne to Leicester in recent years.
Despite the buzz around their stars, Atalanta faces challenges in the Serie A title race, trailing by 10 points with six games to play. Their immediate focus remains on securing Champions League qualification, with crucial matches against Milan and Lecce coming up.
