Atalanta are not giving up on their intentions to sign a midfielder who Atletico were interested in

In the summer transfer window Atalanta intend to work on strengthening the midfield line, and Bergamo are back to their former transfer targets.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport and Corriere della Sera, the "bogeyman" again intends to transfer Celtic midfielder Matt O'Reilly. The Bergamaschi will restart their interest in him again in the near future.

However, between Atalanta and Celtic are present disagreements in the price for the 23-year-old player. The Italian club is ready to offer 18 million euros with 3 million euros of bonuses, while the requests of the Scots fluctuate around 25-30 million euros.

But, in the process of negotiations, Atalanta may agree to Celtic's demands, as the gap of three million euros for the reigning Europa League winner does not seem insurmountable.

Recall that in the winter transfer window, the Danish national team player was actively interested in Atlético Madrid, but the transfer did not go through.
