Three Atalanta stars tipped to join €75m Man Utd signing in Premier League | OneFootball

Rasmus Hojlund joined Manchester United for over €75m last summer and three of his former Atalanta teammates could join him in the Premier League next season, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur among the clubs linked.

Hojlund’s 10 goals in 34 Atalanta matches last season convinced Manchester United to invest €75m plus add-ons to sign the Danish striker from La Dea, but more Nerazzurri players are impressing at the Gewiss Stadium this season and have already been targeted by other Premier League clubs.

Among them is Italy international Giorgio Scalvini, who has recently extended his contract with Atalanta and is expected to be involved in the Euros this summer.

The 20-year-old is destined to become one of the best Italian defenders. He has already collected seven appearances with La Nazionale and played 68 Serie A games with Atalanta. Inter are also long-time admirers of Scalvini, but Manchester United surely have the financial power to beat the Nerazzurri in the summer, unless Beppe Marotta sells one of Inter’s best players at the end of the season.

Atalanta’s price tag for Scalvini is in the region of €40-50m.

Another Atalanta player linked with a move to England is Teun Koopmeiners, probably Atalanta’s best player this season.

The Dutch midfielder has seven goals and four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions and Liverpool are among the clubs monitoring the 25-year-old for 2024-25, Football Italia understands.

However, Juventus are also strongly interested in the versatile midfielder as the player’s agent confirmed only a few days ago. It is believed that any interesting club would need to pay at least €40m to secure Koopmeiners’ services in the summer.

Last but not least, Brazilian midfielder Ederson has also attracted interest from a few top clubs in England, specifically Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, according to a fresh report from Il Corriere della Sera.

Ederson is one of Gian Piero Gasperini’s ‘untouchables’ having scored six goals in 27 appearances across all competitions this term. He joined Atalanta for barely €22m in 2022, so, predictably, La Dea will ask for at least €40m for the 24-year-old in June. The ex-Salernitana star is under contract at the Gewiss Stadium until 2026.
