Newcastle United observed 22-year-old Italian defender Lorenzo Bernasconi on several occasions during the summer, a period in which he also attracted interest from other clubs. Roma considered him a potential solution for their left flank. It is reported that Milan would have tried to sign him had they sold Estupinan. Atalanta's valuation for the player is between 20 and 25 million euros.
Bernasconi joined Atalanta in July 2025, has made 4 appearances in Serie A this season, and is under contract until June 2030. During the winter window in February 2026, it is reported that Atalanta rejected a €15 million bid from Roma for the player.
