Atalanta: Malinovskyi remains on the market: between West Ham and Conte's dream



Going from the nine goals scored in all of 2021/22 between Serie A and the Europa League to just one goal scored, moreover at the beginning of the season, in 2022/23 so far gives an idea of Ruslan Malinovskyi's situation at Atalanta. From central beacon, around which Gian Piero Gasperini had built, somewhat surprisingly, the Nerazzurri's offensive game to one of many, often to be sent onto the pitch only during the match. All this after months in which there have been several problems, at an environmental level. The coach's outburst at the press conference, the answers via social media from the Ukrainian's wife. With a farewell that did not arrive last summer which can instead be consumed in January.

LONDON CALLING-Malinovskyi wants to feel like a protagonist again and, although he is very close to Bergamo, since last summer he has been looking around for a club that can give him back the role he no longer has with the Goddess. His dream was, and still is, Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici's Tottenham, a club that appreciates him but would only borrow him. A hypothesis excluded by the Percassi family, footballingly in love with Ruslan and reluctant to let him go. Marseille is always in the background, but here too with a problem linked to the transfer formula, while those who have come forward with polls in recent weeks are West Ham. Convincing Atalanta, also thanks to a renewed contract until 2025, will not be easy. But Malinovskyi is tired of waiting: he wants to try a new challenge.
