How Atalanta stole Scamacca away from Milan and Inter amid incredible form

Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca is enjoying a rich vein of form right now but he could have ended up at either Inter or AC Milan instead.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Milan and Inter may be regretting their hesitation when it became clear that Scamacca was on the market, and Atalanta are now being rewarded for taking a punt on the Italian.

He recently scored twice at Anfield to help knock Liverpool out of the Europa League, and he scored an overhead kick against Fiorentina on Wednesday to help La Dea reach the Coppa Italia final where they will face Juventus.

Atalanta decided to satisfy West Ham United’s request of €25m at the end of a loan spell and given how well he is playing, that looks like a very low figure. That figure cannot increase with bonuses either.

Both Inter and Milan wanted to sign Scamacca on loan last summer but were beaten to him by Atalanta, and they also both came close to signing him when he left Sassuolo in the first place.

Considering Milan must now replace Olivier Giroud, it would have been very fortuitous if they could have signed Scamacca this summer after a loan spell for just €25m.
