Atalanta pick up Cristante

Bryan Cristante is reportedly set to join Atalanta until 2018 on loan from Benfica, interrupting his spell at Pescara.

The 21-year-old former Milan midfielder has struggled since his transfer to Portugal in 2014 for €6m.

He had loan experiences at Palermo and Pescara, but this term failed to impress in 18 competitive appearances for the Delfini.

According to reports this evening, Cristante has agreed a move to Atalanta, where he’s expected to remain until June 2018.
