Football: Rome Secures Another Win; Argentine Player Soulé Suffers Injury
Atalanta BC's Pending Signings Ahead of the 2022 Serie A Season
With the start of the 2022 Serie A season just around the corner, Atalanta BC is in a race against time to secure the necessary signings to bolster their squad. The club's manager is relying heavily on sporting director Ricky Massara to deliver a central defender, a left-back, a midfielder, a right-back, or a second striker before the season kicks off.
However, the situation is becoming increasingly tense as the deadline for these signings approaches. The coach's faith in Massara's ability to deliver is being tested, and the pressure is mounting. The potential disappointment of unfulfilled signings could have significant consequences for the team's plans.
Amidst this, there have been some positive developments. Daniele Ghilardi's signing has been officially announced with a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. However, Ghilardi has yet to make his debut for Atalanta.
Injuries are also proving to be a concern. Both Soulé and a central defender have suffered injuries. Soulé is recovering from an ankle injury, while the central defender was forced to leave the field due to a muscle problem in his right thigh flexor.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Pellegrini is recovering from an injury in the capital. The team will be without him for the time being.
In a bid to complete their preparation for the season, the team will be in Barton from tomorrow. They will play two friendly matches against Aston Villa and Everton as part of their preparation. Paulo Dybala has been called up to follow the team during their concentration in England.
Despite these developments, there is still no clear information available about any other new signings expected at Atalanta BC before the start of the 2022 Serie A season. The club's fans will be hoping that Massara can deliver on his initial promises to the coach to ensure a strong start to the season.
The manager of Atalanta BC is keen on adding a central defender, a left-back, a midfielder, a right-back, or a second striker to their squad before the commencement of the 2022 Serie A season, as European football leagues, such as the Italian Serie A, heat up with transfer activity. The impending absence of Lorenzo Pellegrini due to an injury could necessitate these acquisitions to strengthen the team's depth.
