Beppe Marotta confirmed Juventus “will sign someone from Atalanta” in January, most likely Mattia Caldara or Roberto Gagliardini.
“I will not deny we have set our sights on some interesting young players in Italian football, which continues to churn out talents,” director general Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
“We are working and negotiating with some emerging talents who deserve to be on the main stage.”
Marotta was asked if these were Atalanta pair Caldara in defence and midfielder Gagliardini.

Marotta was asked if these were Atalanta pair Caldara in defence and midfielder Gagliardini.
“We have a good rapport with Atalanta and I won’t deny we did meet. The transfer window opens in January, but I can confirm we will sign someone from them.”
It’s reported 22-year-old Caldara will remain with Atalanta on loan until the end of the season or even until June 2018.
The cost of the operation should be €18m plus bonuses.
The centre-back has scored an impressive three goals in 11 Serie A games this season.
