Atalanta Transfer Market: The Funds for Sarri’s Favorite Are There—Decisive Hours Ahead

Alessio Romagnoli’s situation continues to be one of the hottest topics at Lazio during this final stretch of the transfer window. The center back is awaiting developments regarding his future. After the definitive collapse of the deal that would have sent him to Qatar—which would have been very lucrative for the player—Sarri’s Atalanta currently represents the most concrete option.

A potential transfer to Bergamo, however, depended on Atalanta’s need to free up space in their defense. This move materialized with the sale of Ahanor for 48 million euros, a deal that has given Atalanta greater financial flexibility.

Romagnoli is now waiting to see if the Bergamo club will decide to turn its interest into actual negotiations. An important factor is his connection with Sarri, who knows the defender’s strengths very well and could facilitate his move to Atalanta.

Furthermore, should Romagnoli leave, Lazio would have the opportunity to re-enter the transfer market to bolster its defense. Atalanta’s qualification for the Conference League could help speed up the deal, setting off a chain of transfer moves that would allow the Biancocelesti to free up a spot and consider signing a new center back.
