Marco Brescianini started today thinking he was going to become a new Napoli player, but reports are now claiming that he will join Atalanta and that AC Milan can smile as a result.
According to Di Marzio, Brescianini’s proposed move to Napoli has collapsed and it looks like he will instead be joining Atalanta, despite the fact that he even did his medical tests with the Partenopei this morning.
The journalist claims that Aurelio De Laurentiis’ club tried to change the terms of the agreement today which forced Frosinone to put the brakes on things and then eventually pull out of the deal. He was expected to join Napoli on a €1m loan deal plus an obligation to buy for €11m in 2025.
According to Michele Criscitiello of Sportitalia, Atalanta have swooped successfully and have outbid Napoli, offering €13m to Frosinone. The player will sign a four-year contract with an option on a fifth after the Naples club were outbid at lunchtime, when everything seemed over.
Milan also benefit from this change of plans because they hold a 50% resale clause and will collect €6.5m minimum, while Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com claims that it is actually a €14m fee and therefore the Rossoneri will get €7m.
