Atalanta inquires about Real Madrid's Jorge Cestero amid exit rumors

Atalanta has made an inquiry regarding Jorge Cestero, a 20-year-old academy prospect from Real Madrid, who has recently been called up for the team's second league match of the season but remains on the bench. Cestero is reportedly looking for an exit from Madrid as he does not see a pathway for development and has been considering opportunities in Ligue 1 and England. Fulham has also shown interest in Cestero, particularly under manager Alvaro Arbeloa. As of now, the discussions between Atalanta and Real Madrid are at a preliminary stage, and it remains unclear whether this will lead to a concrete offer for the player before the transfer window closes.
