Barcelona add another Serie A star to transfer wishlist La Liga champions Barcelona have added a new name to the club’s full-back transfer wishlist. This comes amid confirmation of the Blaugrana keeping a close eye on the development of Atalanta talent Marco Palestra. Defender Palestra is for his part in the midst of something of a breakout campaign to date.
Just 21 years of age, the youngster has exploded onto the Serie A scene during a loan spell with Cagliari. Across 32 appearances to date in the colours of the Rossoblu, Palestra has racked up a goal and four assists. Added to his ability to take to the pitch on either flank, the Italian has in turn established himself as a full Azzurri international.
And as alluded to above, such developments do not appear to have gone at all overlooked in the boardroom at Spanish heavyweights Barcelona. As per a report from Mundo Deportivo : ‘FC Barcelona is planning for the future and has intensified its monitoring of Marco Palestra in recent weeks. ’ Amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the futures of both Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde, the Blaugrana have earmarked Palestra as a serious market opportunity.
