On Thursday, Calciomercato reported Liverpool attempted to sign Atalanta’s Marco Palestra in the summer.
The report indicated the Reds offered €20m for the defender, who later ended up joining Cagliari.
Corriere dello Sport today take a closer look at the Italian, who is impressing for the Sardinian club.
The newspaper report that multiple Premier League sides are keeping an eye on the defender. It remains to be seen if Liverpool are still interested, but Palestra is attracting a lot of attention. ‘Half a dozen’ English clubs are monitoring him, with Juventus and Inter also interested.
The report claims that when Cagliari take on Palestra’s parent club Atalanta at the weekend, multiple teams will scout him.
The defender has been clear that he is only focused on Cagliari, with the next few months set to decide his future.
The 20-year-old has played 13 times in Serie A this season. He already has three assists, having impressed with his ability to carry the ball.
With Jeremie Frimpong struggling at Liverpool, Palestra could fix the Reds’ issues on the right. Attention on him is expected to grow and it won’t be a surprise if he gets a big move soon.
