Malian forward El Bilal Touré, aged 23, who holds the record as Atalanta's most expensive signing at 28 million plus an additional 3 million in bonuses, has fallen out of favor with Ivan Juric and was not included in the squad for friendlies. Istanbul Basaksehir has expressed interest in acquiring him on a loan basis with an option to purchase set at 18 million, a move that could prevent a financial loss after his two unremarkable years. Despite his potential demonstrated by scoring a goal in the Europa League semi-final against Olympique Marseille, Touré faced challenges with injuries and did not make a notable impact at Stuttgart last season. Consequently, Atalanta is considering proposals from Istanbul Basaksehir and other clubs such as PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, who are in search of a versatile forward. Touré's contract with Atalanta extends until June 2027, and his current market value is estimated at €15 million according to Transfermarkt.
