New twist in the discussions between Torino and Atalanta. If the Colombian striker Duván Zapata (32 years old) is expected in Turin this Thursday to pass his medical examination, the Italian defender Alessandro Buongiorno (24 years old), who had reached a pre-agreement with the Bergamo club for a contract until in June 2028 as we revealed to you yesterday, finally decided not to leave the Granata. Present at Torino since his early childhood, the Squadra Azzurra international refuses to leave the troops of Ivan Juric, when he was appointed vice-captain last season.
The transaction involving Colombian striker Duván Zapata and French full-back Brandon Soppy (21) will therefore not take the form of a real exchange between the two Italian teams. In recent hours, the Turin and Bergamasque managements have agreed to carry out these deals independently without any direct link. The arrivals of the Colombian and the French in Piedmont are therefore not compromised, quite the contrary. Meanwhile, the Dea will ramp up on its defensive alternatives. According to our information, three profiles are targeted: Isaak Hien (Hellas Verona), Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham) and Murillo (Corinthians).
