Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Sign €60M Rated Atalanta Star On One Condition Inter Milan will only move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson this summer if Hakan Calhanoglu departs. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that La Dea will hold out for a fee of €60 million for the Brazilian. Advertisement Inter Milan have reportedly been eyeing up a possible move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 25-year-old has come to the end of his third season at Atalanta. He joined the Bergamo-based club from Salernitana in the summer of 2022. And Ederson has certainly grown into one of the outstanding midfielders in Serie A during his time at the Gewiss Arena. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Atalanta Midfielder Ederson If Calhanoglu Leaves MONZA, ITALY – MAY 04: Ederson of Atalanta BC in action during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) However, considering Ederson's form, Atalanta will not let the Brazilian go for cheap. The Corriere dello Sport anticipate that La Dea want a fee of at least €60 million for Ederson. Advertisement Therefore, Inter would have to make a big sale if they are to move for the 25-year-old. The obvious candidate in this respect would be Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish international could bring in a fee of around €35-40 million, which Inter could reinvest in a move for Ederson to replace him. However, if Inter do not sell Calhanoglu, then there would be little scope for them to sign the Brazilian.

Ex-Manchester United football director John Murtough joins Atalanta
Former Manchester United football director John Murtough has joined Atalanta as the Italian club's director of global development. Murtough left United in April 2024 after more than 10 years of service at the club, whom he joined in 2013 after stints working for the Premier League, Everton, Coventry City and Fulham. Advertisement The 54-year-old initially focused on United's academy and scouting, before a promotion to head of football development in 2016 and, five years later, becoming the club's first football director. Murtough's role essentially placed him in overall charge of the men's, women's and academy operations at the club, playing a key role in the arrival of Erik ten Hag as manager in 2022 and in the club's player recruitment. Murtough would have dealt with the Serie A club while at Old Trafford over the arrivals of Amad (£37million transfer fee) at United in 2020 and striker Rasmus Hojlund (£64m plus £8.5m in performance-related add-ons) three years later. Atalanta BC comunica l'ingresso di John Murtough nell'Area Sportiva del Club, della quale entra a far parte con effetto immediato in qualità di Director of Global Development.#GoAtalantaGo ⚫️🔵 — Atalanta B.C. (@Atalanta_BC) April 15, 2025 Atalanta say Murtough's role at the club will be co-ordinated by sporting director Tony D'Amico, with the aim of 'strengthening an area that aims to further develop its international vision'. Atalanta, led by manager Gian Piero Gasperini, are currently third in Serie A, seven points behind second-place Napoli and 10 from league leaders Inter. The Bergamo-based club won the 2023-24 Europa League title, just the second major trophy in their history and their first since a Coppa Italia success in 1963.

Leaders Inter visit Atalanta as thrilling Serie A title race hots up
March 13 (Reuters) - Serie A leaders Inter Milan face third-placed Atalanta in a mouth-watering clash on Sunday with only three points separating them with 10 rounds of matches remaining in the title race. Inter have 61 points and lead by a point from 2023 champions Napoli, who visit second-bottom outfit Venezia, with Simone Inzaghi's side needing a win to guarantee keeping top spot. Inter have been flying in the Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals where they play Bayern Munich, but they have won only three of their last seven Serie A games, losing two. They had suffered only one league defeat prior to that this season, which was at home to AC Milan in late September. However, a 2-1 win over visiting Feyenoord in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday, which secured a 4-1 aggregate victory, should inspire confidence. Inter were given a real scare by bottom club Monza before coming back to win 3-2 at the San Siro last weekend and have not won consecutive league games in nearly two months. "It's true that the numbers in the Champions League are different to the league," said Inzaghi after completing his 200th game as Inter coach on Tuesday. "But we're in the mix in all competitions, happily so." Inter face Milan in the two-legged Coppa Italia semi-finals. Atalanta exited the Champions League and Italian Cup last month and can focus on the prospect of a first Serie A title. Inter and Atalanta are the league's top scorers with 63 goals each, while Atalanta have conceded 26 to Inter's 27. But Gian Piero Gasperini's Bergamo-based side have also struggled to regain momentum in the title race of late. Atalanta have won only four of their last 11 Serie A outings, after an impressive streak of 11 wins between October and December, the longest in the club's history. NAPOLI LURKING Napoli's trip to Venezia earlier on Sunday follows a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina that ended a five-game winless run. They can move top with a victory and would stay there if Inter fail to bring three points back from Bergamo. Draw specialists Juventus, who like Atalanta only have Serie A to concentrate on, have gradually worked their way up the standings into fourth spot on 52 points. They were stunned 4-0 at home by Atalanta last weekend but can take encouragement from a five-game winning run before that defeat when they travel to eighth-placed Fiorentina on Sunday. Juve need a win to stay ahead in the race for a top-four finish, with Lazio chasing them in fifth one point back. Ninth-placed Milan, 17 points adrift of Inter and eight points off the top four, host Cesc Fabregas's Como on Saturday.
