Gasperini demands more signings from Atalanta
Atalanta will play their first-ever Champions League season next season after finishing 3rd in the Serie A. The Bergamo-based club have received plenty of praises for their attractive football. Atalanta collected 69 points and were the league's highest-scoring team.
They have been able to keep most of their star players, despite the club having lost Gianluca Mancini to AS Roma. However, Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini wants the club to make few more signings. The Serie A outfit have signed Luis Muriel and Ruslan Malinovskyi so far.
“Last season, we were a bit limited and were fortunate not to have too many injuries to deal with. I don’t like squads that are too big, but we do need a defender and an alternative to Ilicic", said the manager. He continued,
“It’s only natural that because we did so well, many offers came in for our star players, but we’ve turned them down. I think the only ‘indecent proposal’ we could receive would be for Duvan Zapata, although I hope it never arrives. If it does, the club will do its best to counter that,” Gasperini said.
