Cristiano Giuntoli, who recently took on the role of sporting director at Atalanta, addressed Marco Palestra's move to Chelsea during his introductory press conference. Giuntoli stated that the team was always in contact about the player's situation and assured that they were always correct in all dealings. "We are happy that Palestra represents Italy in the Premier League. We have always been aware of everything and with all parties involved, our stance has always been to act with integrity," said Giuntoli.

Palestra's departure to Chelsea was one of the most talked about transfers in recent weeks, especially after rumors linking him to Inter. Giuntoli clarified that, despite all the speculation, Atalanta maintained clear and open communication throughout the process, which contributed to the resolution of the deal.

With Palestra's departure, Atalanta are now looking to fill their position on the right flank. "We have players like Bellanova and Zappacosta who can take on this responsibility. I believe they have the quality to play in various formations and I don't think it's appropriate to talk about a 'new Palestra', as we have a group of players available and motivated to do their best", he commented.

Giuntoli also addressed the situation of Ederson, another key player in the team. "We were surprised by his stay, but he is happy to remain at Atalanta and we are working on renewing his contract. He is an important player for us and we are talking to his agent to reach an agreement that satisfies both parties", highlighted the sporting director.

In relation to the transfer market, Giuntoli highlighted the importance of planning and continuous work. "We are making an important journey, based mainly on team effort. Football is dynamic and it is essential that we are prepared to adapt", he concluded.

Atalanta, which has shown consistent growth in Serie A, continues to work to strengthen its squad and remain competitive at national and European level.

Expectations are high for the new season, with fans eager to see how the team will react to the changes and what new challenges they will face in the League and European competitions.

What happens next

Bologna are not willing to force Dallinga out unless a financially advantageous proposal emerges in the transfer market. The club will only consider selling the player after securing a suitable replacement, which demonstrates their intention to maintain a competitive attack in Serie A. Dallinga's future will therefore depend on Bologna's ability to find a reliable replacement.
