Atalanta is preparing an official bid for 18-year-old Bosnian winger Kerim Alajbegović, with an opening offer reportedly around €20 million that could reach €25 million with add-ons. The player currently sits on Bayer Leverkusen’s books after joining from RB Salzburg on July 1, 2026, for €8 million.
The transfer details and competitive landscape
Alajbegović reportedly caught widespread attention following a standout showing for Bosnia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
His numbers from the previous season back up the hype: 9 goals and 3 assists across 22 starts in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Atalanta isn’t alone in the chase. Roma, Manchester United, Newcastle, and AC Milan are all reportedly circling. But the player himself has apparently signaled his willingness to join Atalanta.
Italian journalists Gianluca Di Marzio and Alfredo Pedulla have both discussed the potential move in the lead-up to reports surfacing around July 13, 2026.
