Atalanta closing in on Genoa star as Arsenal complicate deal for Nuno Tavares

Atalanta are seemingly unwilling to meet the conditions imposed by Arsenal on a potential deal for Nuno Tavares, who has been considered a replacement for Robin Gosens by La Dea.

According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, new complications in a potential move for Nuno Tavares have led Atalanta to turn their eyes towards an alternative in Genoaโ€™s Andrea Cambiaso.ย 

It is understood that Genoa, who suffered relegation at the end of the 2021/22 season in Serie A, are open to selling the 22-year-old this summer.

The report claims that the player could arrive at Bergamo for a transfer fee of around โ‚ฌ7-8 million, and Atalanta have already made good progress in their attempt to land the youngster, who is regarded as an alternative to Arsenalโ€™s Nuno Tavares.ย 

La Dea were determined to complete a deal for Tavares. But the report suggests that the Premier League side is only willing to include an expensive option-to-buy in a loan deal, keeping the primary control of the player and the deal in their hands.

Therefore, the negotiations with Arsenal have hit a deadlock. If the report is believed to be true, Atalanta are close to making a swoop for Cambiaso. The completion of the deal could close La Deaโ€™s doors for Tavares.
