What happened. Atalanta have opened contacts for Lazio defender Alessio Romagnoli as Berat Djimsiti nears a move to Saudi side Al-Diriyah.

• Djimsiti agreed terms with Al-Diriyah through June 2028 for around €3m.
• Romagnoli's move to Al-Sadd stalled due to Gulf financial restrictions.
• Udinese's Thomas Kristensen and West Ham's Jean-Clair Todibo are also options.

Atalanta need a replacement for their captain, with Sarri pushing for a back four.
