Atalanta are reportedly prepared to offer Luis Muriel in order to land Roma wingback Alessandro Florenzi.

Florenzi is currently on loan at Valencia, but Gazzetta dello Sport writes they are only prepared to extend his arrangement as opposed to sign him outright.

Therefore, writes the newspaper, Atalanta are ready to compete by proposing an exchange with Muriel heading the other way.

The Colombian arrived from Sevilla last summer and has scored 14 goals in 28 games this season.

Therefore, writes the newspaper, Atalanta are ready to compete by proposing an exchange with Muriel heading the other way.

The Colombian arrived from Sevilla last summer and has scored 14 goals in 28 games this season.

However, he has made just nine Serie A starts and is fourth choice behind Duvan Zapata, Alejandro Gomez and Josip Ilicic.

Either way, Florenzi seems unlikely to play again for Roma while Paulo Fonseca is in charge.

The 29-year-old can play anywhere down the right, but his best position is considered to be at wingback, which would suit Gian Piero Gasperini.
