We need players who must be happy to be protagonists at Atalanta”.

Meanwhile, in Clusone, the Nerazzurri are laying the foundations for next season, after having won their sixth qualification for the continental cups in seven years under Gasperini’s management. “We are enthusiastic because we are starting from a great coach – comments the CEO Percassi -. Gasperini’s confirmation was the starting point for the new season. We have completed the team with new signings. The squad is numerically complete, even if the market is still very long”. Percassi then signed Gasperini’s recent statements on the summer negotiations: “I agree with the coach’s idea. If the transfer market closed on July 31st, the clubs would work with more serenity, already knowing which team of the season will be. At the moment we are working on various hypotheses, in the hope of always improving. Returning to Europe is significant. Gasperini has always been good. There is great synergy and comparison with him. He has never mentioned names. We are talking about roles”.
