Atlético de Madrid and Atalanta Agree on Giacomo Raspadori's Transfer
The clubs Atlético de Madrid and Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio have officially announced this Thursday an agreement for Italian forward Giacomo Raspadori to leave the Spanish League and join the Bergamo team. The deal is closed as a permanent transfer, although economic details remain confidential. 🔄
A Brief Stint in Spanish Football
Raspadori, 24 years old, joined Atlético de Madrid during the last summer transfer window. His adaptation to Diego Simeone's system and the pace of LaLiga did not yield the performance expected by both the player and the club. In his half-season as a rojiblanco, the footballer accumulated sixteen appearances across all competitions, but only managed to score one goal.
Key Stats from His Time at Atlético:- Duration: Half a season (summer 2025 market - January 2026).
- Appearances: 16 matches in total across League, Cup, and European competitions.
- Offensive Record: Just one goal scored during his stint.
- Position: Center forward or attacking midfielder, without securing a fixed starting spot.
The Madrid club thanks the player for his dedication during this period and wishes him the best of luck in his new professional stage.
Return to Roots in Serie A
With this move, Atalanta brings back a talent developed in its youth academy who already knows the Italian championship perfectly. The Bergamo team aims to bolster its attack for the second half of the season's objectives and trusts that the familiar environment will help Raspadori rediscover his best footballing version. 🇮🇹
Context of the Return to Italy:- Youth Academy: Raspadori was developed as a footballer in Atalanta's setup.
- Prior Experience: He has already competed in Serie A, so no adaptation period is needed.
- Club's Objective: Strengthen the forward line for the fight for European spots.
- Timing of the Deal: Transfer closed during the winter transfer window.
