The arrival of Maurizio Sarri at the helm of Atalanta promises to have a profound impact on the Bergamasco club's market strategies. The transition to a 4-3-3 formation, characteristic of the Tuscan coach, requires a significant review of the squad, with the midfield being the sector most affected by the management's interventions. The first exit seems already defined: Ederson is increasingly close to a transfer to Manchester United. This exit will inevitably open the door to new investments. Atalanta is looking for at least two or three central midfielders to adapt the squad to the demands of the new coach. In addition to Ederson's departure, the situations of Marten de Roon and Mario Pasalic, two pillars of the dressing room who continue to guarantee reliability, must also be managed carefully in the future. Among the names on Atalanta's management list, several already established profiles stand out. In Italy, Samuele Ricci, Ardon Jashari and Gianluca Gaetano are on the rise. However, there is also interest in international tracks. From Brazil, according to Tuttosport, there is interest in Matheus Martinelli, from Fluminense, confirming the club's intention to explore several markets in search of the best opportunities.
