The transfer plans for Atalanta, one of Italy's most promising clubs, have been revealed in the second round of the Champions League.
According to reports, Atalanta has already signed several players, including striker Marco Verratti and midfielder Giuseppe Sironi, who is also part of the Napoli squad. The club is also looking to sign another striker or midfielder in the summer, which could lead to a significant update on their transfer plans.
Atalanta's first signing was the defender Giovanni Trapattoni, who joined from Inter Milan. He is expected to play alongside veteran Francesco Totti, who will be the club's new manager.
Another key player in Atalanta's development plan is the goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who is set to join from Juventus. The Italian legend has been linked with a move to Italy's Serie A giants Roma, but he remains available for talks.
In midfield, Atalanta are reportedly interested in signing a top-65 midfielder, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the club's budget may not allow them to make a serious offer.
Meanwhile, Atalanta's goal is to strengthen their defense by bringing in more experienced players like Gianluca Brignone and Marco Materazzi. They also need to address injuries that have plagued their team in recent years, including the loss of captain Giorgio Chiellini to injury.
Overall, Atalanta's transfer plans look promising, with the club targeting a strong defensive line and a capable attacking line. The club's coach, Roberto Mancini, has expressed his confidence in the young talent within the squad and believes they can compete at the highest level.
