Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the rumors placing Rodrigo Palacio in a move to Atalanta aren’t really that farfetched.

According to the report, thanks to the great relationship between Inter and Atalanta following the negotiations regarding Roberto Gagliardini, Palacio could be used as a gift to Atalanta to sweaten the Gagliardini transfer. If the deal were to materialize, Palacio would spend 6 months on loan with Atalanta before his contract with both black and blue clubs expires and he returns back home to Argentina.
