Atalanta holds firm on Palestra price as Inter faces competition

Summary

Inter's pursuit of Marco Palestra is in jeopardy as Atalanta is seeking over €50 million for the wing-back. With Premier League interest from Newcastle United and Manchester City, Inter must navigate a complicated negotiation. Palestra reportedly prefers a move to Inter, but interest from Manchester City could alter his decision. Inter had hoped to include Matteo Cocchi in the deal, but Atalanta has rejected that offer. The situation draws parallels to Inter's failed acquisition of Ademola Lookman last summer.
