What happened. Atalanta are expected to sell Berat Djimsiti to Saudi Pro League side Al-Diriyah after he requested a transfer, and they are considering Jean-Clair Todibo, Alessio Romagnoli, and Thomas Kristensen as replacements.

• Djimsiti received a lucrative two-year contract proposal from Al-Diriyah.
• Todibo is first choice but likely available only on loan with option to buy.
• Romagnoli's move to Al-Sadd broke down, making him an intriguing option.

Atalanta will need to secure a new defender before Djimsiti's departure is finalized.
