Atalanta are actively seeking new defenders this summer and have set their sights on Anel Ahmedhodzic, the centre-back from Sheffield United, according to local reports.

The Bergamo-based club is planning squad reinforcements following Gian Piero Gasperini’s decision to continue with the project after speculation about his departure post their Europa League success.

With Jose Luis Palomino departing on a free transfer and Giorgio Scalvini recovering from a cruciate ligament injury suffered against Fiorentina, Atalanta urgently needs to bolster their defensive lineup this summer.

Reports from Corriere di Bergamo via TMW indicate that Atalanta has renewed their interest in Ahmedhodzic, viewing Sheffield United’s relegation as an opportunity to secure the talented defender at a potentially reduced price. Despite being under contract with the Blades until June 2026, the 25-year-old could be available for as little as €10m.
