The 24 years old playmaker is expected today in Italy to have medicals with Atalanta and sign the new contract: the negotiations with Shakthar Donetsk's midfielder have been continuing in the right way, and the player is ready to become a new player under Gasperini's coaching.
Kovalenko's contract with Shakthar Donetsk would have expired on 30th June: the Italian club has paid one million euros to sign the player in this transfer-market window and have him available since now.
