Ljubo Puljić set to leave Bayern Munich for Atalanta

Croatian youth international defender Ljubo Puljić is set to join Atalanta from Bayern Munich. The 18-year-old centre-back, who has been part of Bayern's reserve setup with FC Bayern II, is making the switch to the Serie A side in search of a clearer path to senior football (1). Puljić has yet to break into Croatia's senior national team, but his move to a club known for developing young talent could accelerate his progression. Atalanta's track record with defenders and their willingness to integrate youth makes this a transfer worth following for anyone tracking the next generation of Croatian internationals.
