Atalanta are said to be dreaming about a move for Zenit striker Sardar Azmoun but any move for the player remains complicated.

Sky Italia claim that La Dea don’t want to stop at their move for Jeremie Boga and they’re looking to sign another striker. Their temptation is to move for Azmoun, who has his contract running out next summer.

The economics of the move make it quite complicated, as the striker has offers of around €3.5 million per season and Atalanta can’t go beyond €2 million per season. There is a distance between the player’s demands and the club and it could even be unbridgeable.
