Serie A striker Luca Vin, who has been playing for Atalanta for two consecutive seasons, has become popular with a hat-trick to help his team win the Cup. It is rumored that Juventus, Manchester United, Newcastle and other giants are interested in taking him under their wings. Atlanta's asking price of 30 million euros (about HK$254 million) makes the deal seem quite tempting.
Lukavuen caught the eye of Juventus after contributing 30 goals and 16 assists in 76 appearances over two seasons at Atalanta, a staggeringly efficient campaign. And his experience in England with Charlton, Everton, Fulham and Leicester City, as well as his background representing England U19, U20 and U21, has allowed him to adapt to the pace of the Premier League. As a result, Premier League sides such as Manchester United and Newcastle have shown keen interest in his signing.
Atalanta have been clear on the transfer of Lukavin, having brought him in for 15 million euros two years ago and are now willing to release him for 30 million euros. With increased competition, Lukavin's price tag could climb further.
United have had a penchant for Atlanta players in recent years, acquiring Amit Diarou for €40 million (about HK$340 million) in 2021 and signing Helen for €72 million (about HK$610 million) last summer. This time, if we can acquire Lukavuen, it will further improve the strength of United's forward line.
