Black & Blue Business – Atalanta Transfer Pipeline To Inter Milan Detailed

Atalanta are the team that Inter Milan have spent the second most signing players from in the last decade.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, highlight how the signing of Ademola Lookman would push La Dea up to number one on that list handily.

There are some notable similarities between Inter Milan and Atalanta.

Both clubs wear the iconic Nerazzurri black and blue colours. Furthermore, both play in the region of Lombardia.

Therefore, when a player moves from one club to the other, there is not much of a settling-in period necessary.

As the Corriere dello Sport note, Inter have signed three players from Atalanta in the last decade.

Since the 2015-16 season, three players have made the switch to the Nerazzurri from the Gewiss Arena – Roberto Gagliardini, Alessandro Bastoni, and Robin Gosens.

That trio cost €81 million in total.

The only club Inter have paid more for transfers during the period is Sassuolo – €84.7 million for Matteo Politano, Stefano Sensi, and Davide Frattesi.

If Inter were to complete a big money deal for Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman this summer, though, La Dea would go well clear of the Neroverdi.

Meanwhile, two clubs have paid more to Atalanta for players during the last decade than Inter – Juventus and Manchester United.

The Bianconeri are top of the pile, having paid €116.4 million in transfer fees to Atalanta.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, have spent €99.1 million on just two Atalanta players in the form of Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund.
