Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi, shared insights on the team’s current situation and potential transfer strategies ahead of their match against Napoli. La Dea enter the match followinga hard-fought draw against Juventus, where they managed to equalize despite initially trailing due to a goal from Kalulu. In contrast, Napoli arrived with momentum from a solid 2-0 win over Verona.
Before the match commenced, Percassi addressed the media via Sky Sport. He emphasized the team’s current squad depth, stating, “Numerically we are complete in all departments. If there are opportunities, we will seize them, but numerically we are complete.” He acknowledged the injury to Odilon Kossounou but expressed optimism regarding Gianluca Scamacca’s recovery, noting, “We hope to see him on the bench in the coming weeks, knowing his importance.”
Percassi also discussed the team’s performance levels, mentioning that maintaining peak performance can be challenging due to their high frequency of matches. He commented, “We are playing at such a high frequency that it is difficult to always give our best. The work so far has been extraordinary thanks to the players, the coach, and his staff. We are halfway through the journey and are happy to be able to play many more beautiful matches.”
Finally, he touched on the development of young players from Atalanta’s U23 team: “There are some boys who are making a name for themselves; we are very pleased that they are growing well. It will be up to Gasperini to seize the right moment to integrate them into the group and help them develop.”
