    Atalanta second bid for O'Riley is 18m euros with 3m euros in add ons. Highly likely to be rejected again.

    RELAUNCH FOR O'RILEY

    The name that has been talked about for the longest time is that of Brescianini for whom, after Cittadini's loan to Frosinone (unrelated operations, but started in parallel), a purchase for around 10 million has been hypothesized, for now put on hold (and the Ciociaro club, net of other concrete requests, is in no hurry to close the sale). This happens because Atalanta has also been following with interest O'Riley, 23-year-old from Celtic Glasgow, for some time, and in the last week, after previous contacts with the player's entourage, it has signed up to the race for the Danish midfielder. And it has tried to consolidate its position in the last few hours, with a retouching of the offer to the Scottish club. Which started from a valuation of 27 million (24 + 3 bonus): Atalanta, after an offer of 15 + 3, has raised the stakes, going up to 18 + 3. Not yet enough to convince Celtic, but to show in an even more concrete way an interest in the player, who for his part has expressed his appreciation for the Nerazzurri club, with which he already has an agreement in principle. So at the moment between the two clubs "dance" 5-6 million: it will take time for a rapprochement that will then lead to an agreement, however possible.

    Leicester and Juventus meant to be interested. Surely we'll no settle for less than 25M.

    The moch from KDS hinted yesterday that we want £25m + a sell on for O’Riley before we will sell.

    He doesn’t post often but has a track record for getting things right.

    I'd still be pushing for £30m plus a sell on.

    Think £25m is undervaluing.

    I agree we should be but it sounds like O’Riley is wanting the Atalanta move too.

    He wants any decent move that propels him upwards now tbh.

    It’s the right time to sell we just need to make sure we’re getting maximum value here.

    I agree in his head it will definitely be time to move on. He can’t do anymore here than the numbers he put up last year.

    If it is Atalanta I would put a lot of value in a big sell on % as they typically churn players pretty quickly and get good value. If we got £25m with say 15% then that would be good for another £7.5m at least I think down the line.

    That may be true but we hold all the cards.

    He hasn't been pushing for anything yet either.
