Atalanta recoups costs via loan deals for Touré, Maldini

Atalanta is arranging loan moves with purchase options for two players to reduce its recent spending. Forward El Bilal Touré, bought for €31 million in 2023, is being loaned to Parma with a €4 million loan fee; the club expects to recover about 30 % of the original outlay through the temporary deal. Mid‑fielder Daniel Maldini, signed for €14 million, will move to Cagliari on a loan costing roughly €1 million, with an €8 million buy‑back clause, allowing Atalanta to recoup around 15 % of his fee. Both transactions are part of the club’s strategy to trim a large squad and improve financial balance while keeping the players’ future options open.
