The former Pescara hitman, who scored a hat-trick in Italy’s 8-0 friendly win over San Marino last week, has struggled to make his mark at San Siro.

With the club spending big on new forwards, there would be even less room for Lapadula next season.

He nonetheless managed to score eight goals and provide four assists in 27 Serie A appearances.

Atalanta want a centre-forward after qualifying for the Europa League, as Andrea Petagna and Alberto Paloschi are expected to leave Bergamo this summer.
