Atalanta are looking for a midfielder to complete Gasperini's squad. Teun Koopmeiners is the most likely profile to arrive before the transfer window closes.
The bergamaschi have offered €12 million to Az, but the Dutch club are looking for a bigger return. While there is distance between the offer and the demand, the defensive midfielder is pushing to join Atalanta.
There is optimism a deal could be reached if the offer is increased to €14 million while also offering a percentage on future resale.
