With uncertainty surrounding Dumfries’ future at San Siro, Inter has pinpointed Palestra as a viable candidate for the role.
However, securing the young Italian won’t come at a bargain price.
Recognizing Palestra’s immense potential, Atalanta has set a steep €40 million price tag on their promising young star.
Additionally, La Dea previously rejected several bids for Palestra last summer, with AC Milan and Juventus both attempting to sign him, but to no avail.
