Giuntoli takes the reins
Cristiano Giuntoli is your new sporting director. The appointment was confirmed Sunday, putting a proven operator in charge of Atalanta's summer rebuild (1).
This is a major front-office shift. Giuntoli arrives with a strong reputation and immediately becomes the most important figure shaping the squad you'll watch next season.
Ederson deal held up, not dead
Fabrizio Romano says the delay in Ederson's move to Manchester United comes down to Michael Carrick wanting to move on a current midfielder before finalizing the Brazilian's arrival (2).
The deal is still on track, just waiting for dominoes to fall at Old Trafford. When it happens, expect a fee in the £35–50 million range. Your midfield engine is running out of time in Bergamo.
