Inter Milan are pushing to beat Arsenal to the signature of Atalanta's highly-rated full-back Marco Palestra, with the Bergamo club valuing the defender at around €40 million. The 22-year-old impressed on loan at Cagliari last season, attracting interest from several top clubs. Inter see Palestra as a long-term replacement for the aging Ben White in their defensive setup, while Arsenal have been monitoring him as a versatile option on the right flank. Atalanta are considering the sale as part of a broader squad reshuffle under new sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, with the funds potentially reinvested into the midfield following Ederson's expected departure to Manchester United.
