Atalanta are in the Champions League for the third year running, but their fans are protesting against the club owners and accusing them of cashing in.
La Dea were accustomed to shifting between Serie A and B for decades before their recent flurry of success, which will see them in the most prestigious tournament in European club football for the third season in a row.
They have achieved this while keeping the books comfortably balanced, even running at a profit, despite restructuring their stadium.
Nonetheless, some ultras placed a banner outside the Zingonia training ground today with an insulting message towards the Percassi family, who run the club.
‘Season tickets, friendlies, transfer market. Perca$$i don’t get it wrong, there’s a city to be respected.’
Pierluigi Gollini has been sent to Tottenham Hotspur on loan with option to buy for €15m, which will become an obligation at his 20th appearance for the club.
Cristian Romero is also widely expected to join Spurs in a deal that could basically triple the investment that Atalanta made to sign the Argentina international from Juventus last year.
