Atlanta striker Schickamaka unfortunately suffered a serious injury in the warm-up match and is expected to recover for up to six months. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Manchester United winger Anthony Martial may join Atlanta, but the latest official statement from Atlanta shows that Italian international Ledigu has officially joined the team, and Martial's whereabouts remain a mystery.
Atalanta are reportedly confident of Ledigu's future after acquiring him from Genoa for a fee of €28 million (HK$238 million). The Argentine-born striker was called up to the national team by Coach Vincenzo last March due to his Italian heritage. In July last year, Lydigu moved to Genoa to prepare for the new season with the team.
Last season, Ledigu made 29 league appearances for Genoa, contributing seven goals and two assists, and made four appearances in this year's European Championships, starting in one of them. On Saturday (10th), Atalanta played a warm-up match against St. Pauli, but Ledigu came on as a substitute, but the team eventually lost 0-3. In the early hours of August 15, Atalanta will face Real Madrid in the UEFA Superliga, where Ledigu is expected to show his strengths in the key match.
