Atalanta expressed interest in signing Pau López, but he reportedly declined their proposal. This suggests that Atalanta was considering adding him to their squad. Spanish media sources reported that López, a seasoned goalkeeper at 30 years old, also refused offers from Panathinaikos and Como. Despite these refusals, it seems that López is on the verge of joining Real Betis, as both parties have reportedly reached an agreement and are now just waiting for the contract signing to complete the deal. López, who boasts an impressive career with clubs such as Tottenham, Roma, and Marseille, spent the latter half of last season playing for Toluca in Mexico.
