Possible four-player swap between Roma and Atalanta – report

Reports from Italy suggest that Roma and Atalanta could carry out a major operation that would see four players swap between the clubs.

Both sides are hungry to return to the Champions League and are looking to strengthen their squads this summer as they prepare for a fairly unusual season, which’ll be broken up by the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Jose Mourinho is building a strong project in Rome, whilst Gian Piero Gasperini is experiencing a transition in Bergamo.

As reported by Tuttosport, talks between Roma and Atalanta regarding Luis Muriel are starting to heat up and ideas have been flowing in the negotiations, with one suggestion being the inclusion of Mario Pasalic in the deal.

In turn, Roma would send Stefan El Shaarawy and Carles Perez to Bergamo, creating a fairly complicated operation that could suit all parties. Considering the difficulty of pulling off a deal like this, updates are expected in the coming weeks.
