El Bilal Toure, a 23-year-old Malian international and Atalanta's most expensive signing, is not part of the club's technical plans. Following his loan to Stuttgart last year, he is reportedly attracting interest from PSV and other clubs. He was left out of a friendly match against Cologne, signaling the club's intention to transfer him. Toure indicated in a message that he felt he should be where his value is recognized. After spending the summer training with Ivan Juric's group, he was omitted from the lineup for the Cologne match, and he has also drawn interest from Feyenoord and Basaksehir, showcasing his appeal across Europe. His contract with the Italian club runs until June 2027, and his market value is currently estimated at €15 million according to Transfermarkt.
