El Bilal Touré has officially returned to Atalanta BC, which he joined in July 2023 for a reported €28 million, but is not expected to stay with the Italian club. The Bergamo-based team is seeking the departure of the 24-year-old Mali international, who has 30 caps and 9 goals for his country and is under contract until June 2028. Atalanta is asking for approximately €18 million, with his current Transfermarkt market value estimated at €13 million.

Four Premier League clubs are reportedly interested: Fulham, Aston Villa, Everton, and Newcastle United, with Fulham said to be in the leading position to sign him. However, Fenerbahçe is also in a position to sign the striker, and negotiations with the Turkish club are advancing well. Touré has returned from a loan at Besiktas, where he scored nine goals and provided four assists in 28 games during the 2025/26 season, but the club did not reach an agreement to exercise his purchase option, which was reportedly set at €15 million.
