Gian Piero Gasperini claims Roberto Gagliardini “had pushed his limits” at Atalanta but is backing the midfielder to flourish as an Inter player.

Gagliardini joined Inter for €28m last month, just half-a-season after he broke into the Atalanta team, and Gasperini feels his former protege has what it takes to rise to the Nerazzurri’s demands.

“I wished him well,” the Coach told Corriere della Sera.

“He’s developed in a fantastic way and when Inter went in for him, at that point he had pushed his limits.
