Gasperini, during the press conference ahead of the game against Lazio, had said: "I'm worried about Piccini, he's been training alone since four weeks: we have to understand if he can be useful for us very soon, otherwise we will have difficulties".
That's why Atalanta have been looking for a new winger, after the early arrival of Piccini from Valencia. The club have identified the new alternative to Hateboer on the right: Fabio Depaoli from Sampdoria is joining Atalanta on loan with option to buy. The negotiations for the class 1997 Italian player are at an advanced stage, Gasperini is waiting for his new reinforcement.
