Atalanta and Torino Agree on Bellanova Transfer
Atalanta and Torino have reportedly reached an agreement for the transfer of defender Federico Bellanova. The deal is set to be finalized in the coming days, with the 22-year-old moving to the Bergamo side for a fee of around €6 million.
Background on Bellanova
Federico Bellanova was born on January 29, 2000, in Rome, Italy. He began his youth career at AS Roma before moving to Torino in 2018. Since then, he has made 21 appearances for the Turin-based club, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
The Transfer Agreement
According to reports, Atalanta and Torino have agreed on a transfer fee of €6 million for Bellanova. The deal also includes a 10% sell-on clause, which means Torino will receive a percentage of the transfer fee if Atalanta decides to sell Bellanova in the future.
Why Atalanta Signed Bellanova
Atalanta has been looking to strengthen their defense this transfer window, and Bellanova fits the bill. The young defender has shown promise in his time at Torino, and his versatility in playing both as a center-back and right-back makes him an attractive option for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Impact on Atalanta
The signing of Bellanova is expected to bolster Atalanta‘s defensive line, which has been a key area of concern for the team. With the departure of Rafael Toloi to Sassuolo, Atalanta needed to find a suitable replacement. Bellanova’s arrival will provide competition for places and add depth to the squad.
Impact on Torino
Torino will miss Bellanova’s services, but the €6 million transfer fee will help the club strengthen other areas of their squad. The 10% sell-on clause also ensures that Torino will benefit financially if Bellanova’s value increases in the future.
Conclusion
The transfer of Federico Bellanova from Torino to Atalanta is a significant move for both clubs. Atalanta gains a promising young defender who can help improve their defensive line, while Torino secures a substantial transfer fee and potential future earnings. The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
