Atalanta continues to take in reinforcements for their defense. After bidding farewell to Castagne who heads to Leicester and closing for Karsdorp from Roma, the club is also preparing to make a decisive push for Juventus-owned center back Cristian Romero. Talks are in progress with the bianconeri.
The player's valuation is between €20-25m, the clubs are in negotiations over the formula: it could be a loan with fee for one year plus an purchase option which could become a forced option at certain conditions, or a two-year loan (still with purchase option which could become a forced option.)
Romero was purchased by Juventus in the summer of 2019, with the bianconeri leaving him on loan at Genoa where he played in 33 matches last season.
