Skrtel lands for Atalanta medical

By Football Italia staff

Martin Skrtel has landed in Bergamo for a medical so he can sign for Champions League club Atalanta.

According to Calciomercato.com, the 34-year-old defender’s plane touched down this morning and he is heading to the medical centre for tests.

The former Liverpool star is due to sign a one-year contract worth in the region of €1m.

Skrtel is a free agent after his contract with Fenerbahce was allowed to expire, ending three years in Turkey.

It is a boost of experience for the Orobici, who are in the Champions League for the first time in their history thanks to a record third-place Serie A finish last term.
