Atalanta will only be able to sign Andrea Pinamonti from Inter if they sell one of Luis Muriel and Duvan Zapata, according to a report in the Italian media.

As has been reported by L’Interista, the Bergamaschi club needs to make space in the squad in order to get the deal for the 23-year-old Italian forward over the line.

The player himself is certainly very keen on making the move to Atalanta but La Dea know that they have some balancing to do to make sure they can afford to take on his wages. He currently earns €2 million per season at Inter.

He spent last season on loan at Empoli and he managed to score 13 times. That has caused Inter to try and cash in on him this summer whilst his stock is high. They are hoping for a fee of around €20 million for the player that spent some time at Genoa.
