UDINE. In Bergamo we think exclusively of the transfer market while in Friuli the Italian Cup is targeted (Ascoli arrives on Friday evening): the central defender Bosko Sutalo he has his suitcases in hand and will leave Atalanta within a few days.
The confirmation also came from yesterday’s training that the twenty-one-year-old Croatian from Metkovic conducted in differentiated form not because he was injured, but because Gian Piero Gasperini his departure for another Serie A team has already been announced.
Radio market has already trumpeted the destination for days, with Verona’s Eusebio Di Francesco on pole, but there is a reason the transfer is delaying. And it is precisely here that Udinese must be inserted, who already spoke to the Nerazzurri about Sutalo a month ago during the deal that led to Juan Musso to the Goddess.
Then nothing more was done, but certainly not by the will of Udinese which, among other indications, also has the preference of Luca Gotti, great admirer of the boy.
The problem, if anything, is the purchase formula, because Atalanta spent 4 million in January 2020 taking him from Osijek (contract until 2024), and although he made him play little in the last two seasons (7 appearances in the 2019 tournament -’20, and as many last season), he doesn’t want to lose control.
This is why Verona would accept the dry loan, which is not exactly the formula they are looking for Gino Pozzo from its investments.
The stumbling block had already arisen with Atalanta itself last January, when the two companies talked about Sam Lammers, the Dutch striker he liked and who is now one step away from Genoa.
However, if Sutalo has not yet signed for Hellas, it is precisely because Udinese has redone itself by proposing a formula that can satisfy Atalanta, or a loan with the right of redemption and counter-redemption in favor of the Goddess.
These are the latest from Bergamo, which arrived on the day Sebastiano Luperto, another central defender who had been compared to Udinese, is given close to Empoli.
But the Neapolitan was not one of the first goals of the Friulians, but rather Sebastian Walukiewicz, 21-year-old Polish central defender under Cagliari who also likes Turin and who in Sardinia has seen the prospects change since the arrival on the bench of that Leonardo Semplici who does not seem to value him very much.
And to say that last season the central defender had started it off at Cagliari (19 appearances in the first 22), then the market rumors arrived in January even from Liverpool (bank Reds), before a few mistakes too many and the last 16 games seen only from the outside.
The impression is that after having lost Kamil Glick, with which the agreement on the engagement was not reached, and also Montasser Talbi, who spent four years at Rubin Kazan, Udinese wants to reach a young central player who already “chews” the Serie A, and who is predisposed to a three-man defense.
All this, considering that the bianconeri intend to free up a place in defense, with the class of ’87 Sebastien De Maio among the starters.
Moving on to the attack, blend in Armando Broja – yesterday he signed for Southampton – e Andreas Cornelius, finished at Trabzonspor, there are no developments for Christian Kouame, another Pozzo ball.
