Atalanta boss Gasperini argues for transfer window closing earlier

04 ago 2019

Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini gave a lengthy interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport about his club's pre-season, as well as commenting specifically on the transfer market and how he admires the English model of doing things; where the window shuts before the new season officially starts.

"In Serie A the dates have been totally unpacked, our market has been a sideshow for three months: everyone is talking and nobody is doing anything. The English, think for football and not for the cinema: the Premier League begins on the same day that they close the market: they are more essential than us that we find ourselves closing all the business in the last 15 days, something that does not help the construction of a squad."
