Manchester United's signing of Amad Diallo Traoré is now official as the enticing prospect joins from Atalanta for a €25m fee plus €15m in bonuses, with a 15% eventual sale fee for the Italian club. Work permit regulations prevented Traoré from joining before January. The deal between the clubs was reached back on October 5. Waiting on a visa, Traoré will soon be able to travel to England and begin training with his club.
Atalanta's message for their former player: "We are proud to have contributed to the growth and the making of someone who arrived in Bergamo little more than a lad and now who can continue his experience playing with Manchester United, an iconic world club. Good luck Amad for this new challenge." Intermiediary CAA Base, agency of Frank Trimboli and Paolo Busardo helped bring the deal to closing.
