Atalanta's Marco Palestra draws Premier League interest amid successful development

Summary

Marco Palestra, the Atalanta wing-back, has attracted significant Premier League interest following a successful loan at Cagliari. After shining in the 2025/26 Serie A campaign, he earned a call-up to the Italian national team. Clubs such as Manchester City, Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are reportedly keen on Palestra, while Inter Milan is linked, contingent upon Denzel Dumfries' situation. Atalanta seeks at least €40 million for the 21-year-old, as they traditionally sell top talents at high prices. The player's playing style is expected to suit the Premier League well, with negotiations likely to be manageable through his agent.
