Atalanta president Antonio Percassi spoke with La Gazzetta dello Sport making a big claim about Leo Messi: “He is the player that I’d like to present to our fans in our new stadium. Unfortunately, that’s impossible. Works for the stadium are ongoing we’ll play the last two or three home games away from the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia, probably at the Mapei Stadium (where Atalanta played their home games in Europa League last season and the playoffs during this season). Nothing has been decided yet but it’s all in progress”.
“Transfers? My son Luca has already spoken about the importance of the youth sector and promoting Primavera players. Our aim is to avoid relegation and then see what happens. I think this team can qualify for Europa League. We could have avoided to be elimination against Copenhagen. Some of our players will leave on loan, others will stay. Our desire is to launch our youths”.
