What happened. Atalanta have made Thomas Kristensen their priority target to reinforce the defence, with West Ham's Jean-Clair Todibo as the alternative.

• Udinese's technical director acknowledged interest but insisted Kristensen stays for now.
• Kristensen captained Udinese in a 1-0 win over Barcelona.
• Atalanta need to replace Berat Djimsiti, who is heading to Al-Diriyah.

“He's our player; as long as he's here, he's an Udinese player.”

— Gökhan Inler

Atalanta may turn to Todibo if Kristensen proves too costly, but wages and Juventus competition loom.
