Inter circling Palestra
Inter are showing concrete interest in Atalanta right-back Marco Palestra, with the Nerazzurri pushing hard on the transfer market after Real Madrid registered interest in Denzel Dumfries (2). Palestra, who spent last season on loan at Cagliari, is emerging as a target, and his recent comments suggest he's not fazed by the attention (1).
Palestra: 'A top club doesn't scare me'
Speaking from Italy's Coverciano retreat, Palestra addressed his future directly: "Grazie al Cagliari e all'Italia, un top club ora non mi spaventa" (1). The full-back credited his time in Sardinia and with the national setup for his newfound confidence, adding that facing a big move no longer intimidates him. For Atalanta fans, that reads like a player with one eye on the exit.

The chatter among Atalanta supporters is less about Palestra and more about Ederson, his move to Manchester United feels imminent, and Reddit is awash with analysis of where the Brazilian fits into Michael Carrick's midfield. The mood is split: some appreciate the business sense at £35–50 million, others worry about who fills that engine-room void. Read the full statistical breakdown here.
