Atalanta’s transfer dealings have hit a stumbling block with the stalled acquisition of Spanish right-back Marc Pubill Pagés.
Despite having undergone medical examinations, the transfer could not be finalised.
Atalanta cited several reasons for the collapse, most notably pertaining to the player’s condition.
“Due to a variety of issues, primarily related to the player’s health, the transfer could not be completed,” an Atalanta spokesperson stated.
The club has expressed disappointment over the turn of events but emphasised their commitment to strengthening the squad.
Atalanta’s official statement read, “We remain focused on enhancing our team and will continue to explore opportunities in the market.”
Fans and pundits alike had anticipated Pubill adding depth and versatility to Atalanta’s right flank.
However, this setback underscores the volatility and unpredictability inherent in football transfers.
It remains to be seen how Atalanta will navigate this situation and identify alternative solutions.
