Liverpool Step Up Pursuit of Atalanta Right-Back Marco Palestra

Competition could push the price, with reports still placing the race in a pre-bid stage.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Liverpool are making serious preparations to sign Atalanta right-back Marco Palestra this summer, though no offer has been submitted.
  • Inter Milan have been linked with a move near €35 million after earlier concerns over loan terms, while Tottenham, Newcastle and Juventus have also tracked the player.
  • A valuation near €45 million, roughly £39 million, is being reported by outlets rather than confirmed by the clubs involved.
  • Palestra has become a regular on loan at Cagliari with 30 Serie A appearances and five goal contributions, which led to a recent Italy debut.
  • Liverpool’s interest ties to a need at right-back as Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley have dealt with fitness problems this season.
