Marco Palestra has completed medical examinations with Cagliari and will join the team for his first training session. He joins on a dry loan from Atalanta until June 30, 2026. The transfer was confirmed by Guido Angelozzi, who mentioned that Palestra is a young and strong player. The club preferred to maintain control over Palestra and let him grow in Serie A.

CalcioMercato has updated the situation concerning Marco Palestra's transfer. Marco Palestra, a well-regarded right-back born in 2005, attracted interest from Juventus and Roma. Following medical examinations in Rome, he is expected to sign with Cagliari later in the evening. The transfer process was intricate, with Atalanta receiving several proposals during the summer. Juventus engaged in prolonged discussions with Atalanta, while Milan and two Premier League clubs also expressed interest. Despite Atalanta's desire to keep him, Cagliari successfully negotiated a loan deal through agent Alessandro Lucci, after 72 hours of discussions involving Percassi, Giulini, and Lucci. The loan is an expensive arrangement, allowing Atalanta to maintain ownership while Cagliari fills the gap left by Zortea's departure.

CalcioMercato reports on Marco Palestra's transfer to Cagliari on a loan deal. Marco Palestra will transfer to Cagliari on a dry loan until June 2026. The transfer is reportedly costly, with Atalanta expected to receive around 2 million euros.

Marco Palestra is on the verge of joining Cagliari from Atalanta on a temporary loan arrangement. The completion of the transfer is anticipated shortly. This move aims to offer Palestra increased playing opportunities and experience before he returns to his parent club, Atalanta. TMW, through information obtained by Raimondo De Magistris, reported the transfer. This decision comes after Cagliari's recent sale of Nadir Zortea to Bologna, which has led the club to seek reinforcements for their squad. Palestra, an Italian midfielder born in 2005, is viewed as a promising young talent from Atalanta's ranks, and his loan is considered a strategic decision by Atalanta to allow him to acquire valuable experience in the upcoming season. The player, valued at €3.50m by Transfermarkt, had also attracted interest from clubs such as Juventus and Empoli.
