Rafael Toloi - Recovering from injury Toloi missed multiple friendlies due to a thigh problem, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Toloi has been dealing with the issue for a couple of weeks. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini was noncommittal about his availability for the opener versus Sassuolo after the most recent preseason game against Juventus. Sead Kolasinac and Caleb Okoli would fill in if he wasn't fit enough to start or play.

Gianluca Scamacca - Completes permanent transfer Scamacca transferred to Atalanta from West Ham on a permanent basis Monday.

Impact Scamacca leaves the Hammers after having played in 16 matches last season, including 11 starts, in which he recorded three goals on 30 shots (10 on target), one cross (accurate) and 13 chances created. It's a return to Serie A for the forward, having previously logged 65 matches in the competition for Sassuolo and Genoa. In his last stint for Sassuolo, Scamacca racked up 16 goals in 36 Serie A contests and should offer decent offensive upside with Atalanta.

El Bilal Toure - Joins Atalanta Toure has moved to Atalanta on a permanent deal, the two clubs announced.

Impact Toure is coming off a promising season in La Liga, where he tallied two goals, six assists, 29 shots (14 on target), and 14 chances created in 21 appearances (15 starts), missing extended time with a thigh injury. He'll likely wind up replacing Rasmus Hojlund, who's in talks to depart, but will have to compete with a few veterans.

Michel Ndary Adopo - Signs with Atalanta Adopo has agreed to a four-year contract with Atalanta after departing Torino on a free transfer, the club announced.

Impact Adopo appeared nine times (three starts) in the past season, collecting two shots (one on target), one key pass, seven tackles, and four clearances. He'll provide depth in multiple roles, but he could end up playing more in their new second team at first.

JULY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mitchel Bakker - Transfer to Atalanta Bakker has officially joined Atalanta on a permanent deal from Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Bakker is coming off a fine season where he tallied four goals and three assists in 34 appearances across all competitions. He'll split time with Joakim Maehle, Davide Zappacosta, Matteo Ruggeri, and newcomer Sead Kolasinac at this new club, where the starting job on the left wing is up for grabs. He added 30 shots (12 accurate), 29 chances created, and 53 crosses (nine accurate) in the past campaign.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sead Kolasinac - Transfers to Atalanta Kolasinac has officially joined Atalanta on a free transfer from Olympique Marseille.

Impact Kolasinac spent less than a week as a free agent after his previous contract ran out and inked a three-year one. He'll play as a left center-back and left wing-back at his new team, competing with Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, Joakim Maehle, and Matteo Ruggeri. He's coming off a strong season where he tallied four goals, 20 crosses (five accurate), 52 tackles, and 43 interceptions in 33 Ligue 1 appearances.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Piccoli - Back at Atalanta Piccoli has returned to Atalanta following a season-long stint at Empoli.

Impact Piccoli enjoyed some success late in the season but didn't fully blossom this season either and will likely depart again to seek regular minutes rather than stay as a deep reserve.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksey Miranchuk - Leaves Torino Miranchuk wasn't bought out by Torino by June 30.

Impact Miranchuk had his best campaign in a few years, but Torino deemed their option to sign him permanently too expensive. They'll have to open talks to Atalanta if they wish to bring him back. The Atalanta coach had previously discarded him, and it's unlikely he'll reconsider his stance.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Viktor Kovalenko - Returns from loan Kovalenko has re-joined Atalanta as Spezia didn't keep him past the loan spell.

Impact Kovalenko wasn't a regular and often dealt with injuries. He'll likely be on the move again in the summer, unless Atalanta keep him for depth purposes considering their return to Europa League.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pierluigi Gollini - Not retained by Napoli Gollini will return to Atalanta as Napoli didn't pick up their option to buy.

Impact Gollini was fine in some late appearances, but Napoli elected not to trigger their option to buy. They'll have to negotiate with Atalanta if they want him back. He's unlikely to stay in Bergamo.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Cambiaghi - Returns to Atalanta Cambiaghi is heading back to Atalanta following a successful loan spell at Empoli.

Impact Cambiaghi broke out in the second half of last season and will be evaluated by his new coach throughout the summer. Whether he stays or not could also hinge on their other moves up front.

JULY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nadir Zortea - Heading back to Atalanta Zortea didn't play in Round 38's 1-3 loss to Atalanta and wasn't redeemed by Sassuolo.

Impact Zortea started four matches in a row in January as Jeremy Toljan and Mert Muldur were both hurt but was a backup afterward. He'll probably be on the move again to seek a consistent role in the summer. He recorded one assist, ten chances created, 43 crosses, and 25 tackles in 19 appearances (eight starts).

Marco Carnesecchi - Headed back to Atalanta Carnesecchi didn't play in the final two games and will return to Atalanta to be assessed by the coach following a productive loan spell, SportMediaset reports.

Impact Carnesecchi didn't start right away due to an off-season shoulder injury, but he eventually took over and showed big flashes even though he was stuck behind a poor defense. He's drawing interest from a few sides, and Atalanta will have to decide whether to keep him, sell him, or loan him out again. He has kept four clean sheets, allowed 47 goals, and made 107 saves in 27 appearances.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Zappacosta - Workmanlike versus Monza Zappacosta created one scoring chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate), and took one off-target shot in a 5-2 victory over Monza in Round 38.

Impact Zappacosta ended the campaign on a low note even though his side bagged five goals. He battled multiple injuries in the first half of the season, but he was clearly their best option on the wings when he got healthy in 2023. He ended with four goals, two assists, 25 shots (ten on target), and 59 crosses (13 accurate) in 21 appearances (18 starts).

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Toloi - Logs two interceptions in Monza tilt Toloi sent in one accurate cross, created one scoring chance, had two clearances, and won one tackle in a 5-2 win over Mona in the season finale.

Impact Toloi didn't fare particularly well like the rest of the Atalanta defense in the high-scoring affair. He has mostly stayed healthy and was once again a linchpin in this campaign. He has posted two goals, 69 tackles, 57 interceptions, and 85 clearances in 32 matches.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Scalvini - Posts one interceptions versus Monza Scalvini took one off-target shot and had one tackle (zero won) and one interception in a 5-2 win over Monza in the season finale.

Impact Scalvini didn't play great in this one, and his club allowed two goals despite coming out on top. He has continued to grow at a fast pace in 2022/2023 and might draw interest from top sides. He has tallied two goals,54 tackles, 56 interceptions, and 54 interceptions in 32 appearances, contributing to one clean sheet.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Pasalic - Silent versus Monza Pasalic took one shot and created one scoring chance in a 5-2 win over Monza in the season finale.

Impact Pasalic couldn't follow up his two previous strong performances in the last match of the campaign. He finished strong, but his numbers dipped significantly relative to 2021/2022, also because he faced more competition and wasn't always a full-time starter. He logged five goals, two assists, 32 shots(nine on target), and 16 chances created in 32 appearances (24 starts).

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Okoli - Comes off the bench against Monza Okoli had one tackle, drew one foul, and committed one in 30 minutes in a 5-2 win over Monza in the season finale.

Impact Okoli resumed getting minutes down the stretch as his side was very depleted in the back. He opened the season as the starter, but the coach turned to more experienced options from January on, and he was a DNP for five months. He has logged 21 tackles, 30 interceptions, 44 clearances, and five blocks in 17 appearances (nine starts), contributing to three clean sheets. He might transfer to play more in the summer.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Musso - Loses starting job in 2022/2023 Musso featured once in the final nine matches of the season.

Impact Musso didn't have major blunders but wasn't perfect either, and the coach eventually switched to Marco Sportiello. His teammate will head to Milan in a free move, but Atalanta also have budding youngster Marco Carnesecchi under contract. The two could compete for the starting job next campaign. He has allowed 27 goals, made 64 saves, and kept seven clean sheets in 24 matches.
