Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has said that Robin Gosens deserves the move to Inter that he is making in the January transfer window, according to a report in the Italian media today.

Speaking during an interview with TMW whilst at the Lega Assembly, Luca Percassi explained that Robin Gosens has given a lot to Atalanta during his time at the club and commended his ambition to make the move to Inter this month.

“He’s making the visits, Robin is a boy who gave so much, he had the hope and ambition to go to a great club, I think he deserves it.

“It was right for us to give him this opportunity after what he did for Atalanta. We move forward.”

The German winger has been a key player for La Dea for many years but it was becoming clear that he was ready for a new challenge. Newcastle United was also linked with the player but he wanted to join Inter.

The deal is not yet official but the medical examinations are ongoing as best they can given the defender’s current injury. He is aiming to be fit to play for Inter by the end of February.
