Atalanta moving for Inter striker Andrea Pinamonti is likely to depend on them getting a deal done to sell Luis Muriel.

This according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it, who report that La Dea will likely only be able to afford a deal for the 23-year-old by investing a fee for Muriel, whilst Sassuolo and Salernitana remain interested.

Atalanta are Pinamonti’s preferred destination, and they are keen on his signature, but as of yet they have not gotten close to the Nerazzurri’s asking price for the striker.

Salernitana have offered Inter €20 million, which Inter accepted, but Pinamonti is very lukewarm on the Granata as a destination, whilst Sassuolo are also weighing up an offer and the 23-year-old could be more receptive to joining the Neroverdi.

La Dea remain Pinamonti’s first choice, but things look set to depend on whether Muriel departs Atalanta in the coming days, or else Pianmonti could prefer making the switch to Sassuolo.
