Why Scamacca’s move to Atalanta could be a blessing for Milan

Atalanta seem to have beaten Inter and AS Roma to the signing of Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham United in the Premier League, which could end up being great news for AC Milan.

The Italian striker struggled in his first season in the Premier League and has been linked with almost every top Italian club, including Milan at times.

Inter seemed the likely destination but Atalanta have moved fast and he has arrived in Italy to undergo his medical. This could be great for Milan because West Ham have been showing interest in Divock Origi, but have been reluctant to bid.

Now that they have got Scamacca off of the books, they need a reinforcement in attack and they could present an official bid swiftly for Origi.

Selling Origi, as well as others, would allow Milan to start moving for some of their final targets during the very busy 2023 summer transfer window.
