In Europe, clubs are analyzing the market to reinforce their squads for the next season. That is why Atalanta has set its sights on forward Andrea Pinamonti, who has been playing for Empoli but is owned by Inter Milan, and has presented an offer to the 'neroazurri' club offering Colombian Duván Zapata in the transfer.
Atalanta wanted to use Duván Zapata as part of the payment plus 12 million euros to get Andrea Pinamonti, but Inter Milan rejected the offer, as they are not interested in the Colombian forward who previously played for Napoli and Udinese.
The main reason for not accepting the proposal is the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, who returns to Inter Milan this season to strengthen their attack after his unsuccessful spell at Chelsea, and the club does not want a player with the same characteristics as the Belgian forward.
Duván Zapata has always been the subject of many rumors in previous transfer windows, but this time he is not having many suitors, although he has been linked with Premier League clubs.
The Colombian forward did not have a good 2021/2022 season and has a contract with Atalanta until 2024. Duván Zapata is valued at 28 million euros and remains one of the most sought-after players on his team.
However, Atalanta is looking for a way to offload Duván Zapata in order to renew the team that did not secure a spot in an international tournament for the next season. The Bergamo club wants to use the Colombian as a bargaining chip to sign another forward, as the Colombian national team striker could leave for free to another club next season.
