Atalanta, Percassi: ‘Palestra will return to us a more mature player’

Rome, 27 April (LaPresse) – "We believe our results are the fruit of all the hard work we’ve put in over the years. We always started out with the aim of avoiding relegation, but then the team managed to secure some really significant positions. This year we’ve embarked on a new project. We’re seventh, and we’ll try to improve our position further if possible.” So said Luca Percassi, Atalanta’s managing director, to DAZN ahead of the Cagliari v Atalanta match. “We want to see the Atalanta spirit, with the aim of having no regrets and giving it our all. Palestra came through our ranks and we’re very fond of him. We were convinced that a year away from Atalanta would help him develop fully, and at Cagliari he has found the ideal environment, just like so many other lads who have come here. We’re delighted to welcome him back next year, more mature. Cagliari is a club where you can develop well,” he added.
