Transfer targets28 Feb 2028
No deal for Cher Ndour at that price
Atalanta offered $3.4M; Fiorentina said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
Market28 Feb 2028
Only the photograph left for Andrea Oliveri
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Andrea Oliveri will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Atalanta the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Match26 Feb 2028
No end in sight to Atalanta's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Atalanta has to find a result from somewhere.

Words exchanged at Atalanta
Mario Pašalić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match26 Feb 2028
4 matches without a goal for Atalanta
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Yaw Asamoah Agyei is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Honest Ahanor stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Honest Ahanor and Atalanta agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad28 Feb 2028
A row about effort at Atalanta
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Roberto Alvarado was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout28 Feb 2028
No hiding place for Roberto Alvarado
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Roberto Alvarado, and the manager let it.
