Inter Milan have identified Marco Palestra as the ideal player to build the future of their right wing. Atalanta's young talent should be the Nerazzurri's big investment to replace Denzel Dumfries, who is increasingly close to a transfer to Real Madrid.
Negotiations with Atalanta are now in the final details and the operation should close at around 50 million euros. The player's will was decisive for the success of the business. After an excellent season on loan at Cagliari, Palestra saw Inter as his ideal location to make the leap in quality he was looking for. This choice is motivated not only by sporting ambition, but also by a strong link with the region: the player, born and raised in Buccinasco, on the outskirts of Milan, took his first steps in football in Inter's youth teams before moving to Atalanta.
The understanding between Palestra and the Viale della Liberazione club had already been reached some time ago. The player will sign a five-year contract, with a salary significantly higher than what he received in Bergamo. Coach Cristian Chivu, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, also played a crucial role in the negotiation, considering Palestra a perfect element for his game system. The young player is a modern winger, capable of playing on both wings and interpreting both the offensive and defensive phases. At 18 years old, Palestra is already prepared for important stages, representing the ideal profile for Oaktree's strategy, which focuses on investments in promising players with great growth potential.
