Overview
- The 21-year-old full-back said he feels "ready" to step up after a breakout 2025–26 season on loan at Cagliari and after earning his first senior Italy caps.
- Early June coverage links Palestra to a group of top clubs, with Inter, Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle all reported to be actively tracking him.
- Atalanta are expected to place a price around €40–50m on Palestra, who has roughly three years left on his contract and will return to Bergamo from his loan.
- Inter’s capacity to move for Palestra is repeatedly reported as conditional on selling Denzel Dumfries first, while other interested clubs must weigh fee demands against squad plans.
- No formal bids have been reported so far and the next steps to watch are which club makes a concrete offer and whether selling players or wage plans free up the funds needed to complete a transfer.
