Atalanta pursues Alajbegovic after interest from Roma

Atalanta is targeting Kerim Alajbegovic, a promising winger from Bayer Leverkusen, following significant interest from AS Roma. Alajbegovic, who plays for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, helped his country qualify for the 2026 World Cup and had a productive season at RB Salzburg, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists in 44 matches. With multiple clubs showing interest, including Napoli, Inter, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Benfica, Atalanta is reportedly prepared to invest €55 million, plus €5 million in add-ons, as they seek to secure the 19-year-old's services. Alajbegovic is not expected to remain at Leverkusen as he draws attention from several top teams.
