According to Tuttomercato, Marco Sportiello is on the verge of returning to Atalanta from AC Milan. He is expected to leave AC Milan on a free transfer once his contract is settled, and will join Atalanta as a backup for Carnesecchi. The departure of the 1992-born goalkeeper from Milan is part of a broader reorganization of Serie A goalkeepers, with Milan swiftly moving to acquire Pietro Terracciano from Fiorentina as Sportiello's replacement. Additionally, Sportiello's move to Atalanta has affected Cremonese's plans, as they had initially aimed to sign him before shifting their attention to Pierluigi Gollini from Roma.
