Jewel Posted June 24, 2025 Share Posted June 24, 2025 Some of these prices being reported for the likes of Kudus, Elanga and Semenyo are insane. And yet, if the journos are to be believed, we seem intent on shopping in the most expensive market in the world which is the Premier League, despite being severely constrained by PSR. It's madness.

They clearly think it’s worth the premium to mitigate any risk, trouble is you could pay 70 million for Semenyo and not convinced he wouldn’t end up looking a big awkward clumsy winger on the bigger stage.

I guess it depends if the club thinks it can find value abroad, as it did with Botman, Bruno, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think 45m for Elanga is insane, in fact its incredible value.... unless you are talking about some of the nonsense asking prices in the press, which we haven't gone anywhere near. I find it hard to criticise the club for over spending on domestic targets, when we haven't done that once.... even Chris Wood now looks a 25m player. Also this bizarre insistence that we are only shopping domestically because there are fewer concrete links to players abroad. Domestic journalists rarely know foreign targets, it took an Italian to suggest we after Scalvini, it took an Asian Journalist to break the young Korean kid story. So far our transfers since the takeover have been an overwhelming success, perhaps unsustainably so but we've had a period in transfer exile and I expect us to resume service.

Bunk Moreland Posted June 24, 2025 Share Posted June 24, 2025 Didn't realise Atalanta were majority-owned by an American who made his fortune in private equity.

ponsaelius Posted June 24, 2025 Share Posted June 24, 2025 No player is ever untouchable at Atalanta. They are ultimately a small club (although without doubt the best run club in Italy with the best academy) and their model is that they do sell. They generally sell on their terms though as they don't have any financial issues. I think with Scalvini they would rather keep him and hope he develops further rather than sell at a perceived dip in value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
