Ederson to United nearly done
Midfielder Ederson is on the verge of completing a transfer to Manchester United. Manager Raffaele Palladino has effectively confirmed the move is happening. Losing your powerhouse in the middle of the park is not how anyone wanted the summer to start, but the signals coming out of Bergamo are clear, this one is happening.
Sarri talks in final stages
Atalanta are close to appointing Maurizio Sarri as the new head coach, with negotiations in the final stages. It would be a sharp tactical pivot from Palladino's approach. Sarri brings a proven track record and a very different system, expect significant change if this crosses the line.
Palladino set to depart
Raffaele Palladino is reportedly on his way out, making the Sarri pursuit a direct replacement rather than a backup plan. He leaves after a campaign that ended with a 1–1 draw against Fiorentina, a match where Roberto Piccoli scored and Pietro Comuzzo put through his own net. Charles De Ketelaere came off the bench.
De Roon in World Cup frame
Marten de Roon is considered a strong candidate for the Netherlands' World Cup squad. The Dutch international remains one of your most consistent performers and seeing him on that stage would be a proud moment for the club.
Fan-reaktioner
The mood among supporters is shifting from the quiet end of the season to the noise around the club's future. Talk is buzzing about Cristiano Giuntoli's appointment as Sporting Director, which many see as the first domino in a summer rebuild. Read the full discussion here.
