Liverpool’s approach appears measured, viewing Palestra as a long‑term squad depth option. Newcastle’s interest feels more urgent, driven by uncertainty over Tino Livramento. Atalanta maintains a firm €45m price tag, seeing him as a potential long‑term asset or high‑value sale. Other European clubs such as Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, AC Milan, Napoli and Roma have also shown interest, making the transfer race highly competitive.
