Marco Palestra

In June 2026, Marco Palestra's transfer from Atalanta to Chelsea was reportedly finalized for a total fee between €55 million and €60 million, with some reports specifying figures like €55m plus €3m in bonuses or €57m plus €3m in bonuses, often including a 10% sell-on clause for Atalanta. Just prior to this, Inter reportedly made a verbal offer of €45 million plus €5 million in bonuses, which was their maximum. Throughout early and mid-2026, Atalanta's asking price was consistently reported to be a minimum of €50 million, having risen from valuations of €35-€45 million in late 2025 and early 2026. For the 2025/2026 season, Cagliari reportedly paid a €2 million loan fee to Atalanta.

Our valuation is driven by the recently completed transfer of Marco Palestra to Chelsea in June 2026. Multiple reliable reports confirm a total package valued between €55 million and €60 million, including bonuses. This figure is further substantiated by Inter's preceding unsuccessful bid, consistently reported at €50 million (€45m + €5m), and Atalanta's firm asking price of at least €50 million throughout the transfer window.
