Atalanta is currently regrouping after a busy summer transfer window that saw significant changes to their squad, partly due to injuries to key players like Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca. With 13 players leaving and 10 new arrivals, the team is in a rebuilding phase but showing promising signs in both Champions League and Serie A competitions. Despite having potentially one of their strongest squads in recent years, Atalanta’s forward-thinking management is already planning for the January transfer window.
Calciomercato report how in terms of potential arrivals, Atalanta are eyeing Edon Zhegrova, a left-winger from Lille. The 24-year-old Kosovan is valued at around €25 million. The club may also look to reinforce their defense, given the current injury crisis in that department. With Odilon Kossounou, Berat Djimsiti, and Rafael Toloi sidelined, Atalanta might pursue an experienced defender similar to Rodrigo Becao, who they missed out on last July when he moved to Fenerbahçe.
Regarding departures, the biggest concern for Atalanta fans is the potential loss of Ederson, currently one of Serie A’s top midfielders. While it’s unlikely he’ll leave in January, with Atalanta expected to demand at least €50 million, he remains a target for Manchester City. His future may depend on Atalanta’s achievements this season, with a summer move more likely.
One player who could depart in January is Ben Godfrey, who has struggled for playing time despite the defensive injuries. If an offer around €10 million arrives, Atalanta might be inclined to let him go, similar to the situations of Bakker and Holm.
