Atalanta One Step Away from Sealing Gaetano Deal

Atalanta are putting the finishing touches on a deal to bring Cagliari midfielder Gianluca Gaetano to Bergamo. Fabrizio Romano reports that the two Italian clubs have agreed on a base fee of around €12 million, with performance-related add-ons that could push the total to €14 million. The 24-year-old played 33 Serie A matches last season, scoring twice and providing four assists. His contributions were vital in helping the Sardinian side avoid relegation — Cagliari finished 14th in the table. The paperwork is expected to be finalized in the coming days, marking another shrewd addition to Atalanta's midfield.
