Atalanta market, Atletico Madrid has taken a liking to it: in their sights another Nerazzurri bigwig

Atalanta soccer market: once again Atletico Madrid is looking to Bergamo. The Colchoneros seem to have taken a liking to it, and after giving themselves Juan Musso in the summer of 2024, Matteo Ruggeri in that of 2025 and Ademola Lookman in January 2026, the next on the list could be Ederson. The Brazilian has long been a potential feather in the Dea’s outgoing market cap, and it seems increasingly possible for him to follow the same path already taken by the three teammates with whom he won the 2024 Europa League.

Confirming this was Mateu Alemany, sporting director of Atletico Madrid, who told ‘Movistar’ “We cannot set ourselves any limits. We must always have great ambitions, focusing on the race of the moment but also on those to come. Then at the end of the season we will evaluate what we have done, both in terms of purchases and disposals. In the meantime, however, we already have a list, and certainly among the good players we like there’is Ederson”. Another, yet another, potential bargain on the privileged line now built with Atalanta.

For the rest, the impact with Atletico Madrid of Lookman, who already scored in his very first game in the rojiblanco, speaks for itself. In the 37th minute of the second half of the Copa del Rey match against Betis, with Simeone’s team already ahead 0-2, the former Atalanta striker, deployed immediately as a starter, put his seal on the match by signing the third goal. Meanwhile, he also scored in the Copa del Rey in his side’s goleada against Barcelona, and then in the Champions League against Club Brugge.

In short, Atletico Madrid trusts Atalanta, but the channel is also open in the opposite direction. This is demonstrated by the landing in Bergamo, also during the winter market, of Giacomo Raspadori. The Emilia striker, meanwhile halted by injury, has dressed in Nerazzurri but has long been in the crosshairs of Roma and beyond.

And who knows, it might not go the same way for Ederson. Just as Atalanta had raised the barricades for Lookman (long in the sights of Napoli and especially Inter) except for negotiating smoothly with Atletico Madrid, the pattern could repeat itself for the strong Brazilian midfielder. Who, it is no mystery, is coveted in Italy especially by Juventus.
