Atalanta ask after Sabaly

By Football Italia staff

Atalanta have reportedly set their sights on Girondins de Bordeaux right-back Youssouf Sabaly, who would cost around €9-10m.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 26-year-old Senegal international would be suited to Gian Piero Gasperini’s style of football, as he likes to pour forward down the right flank and can also play on the left if needed.

Sabaly had already been linked with Napoli last summer, but suffered a knee injury, and is under contract with Bordeaux until June 2021.

He came up through the Paris Saint-Germain academy, moving to Bordeaux permanently for €4m in 2017.

The asking price is €9-10m and he’d certainly be attracted by the prospect of Serie A and Champions League football with Atalanta.
