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.
