Chelsea are set to complete the transfer of defender Marco Palestra from Atalanta.
According to Idman.Biz, citing Fabrizio Romano, the Londoners are ready to pay 50 million euros for the player, and with bonuses, the total amount will exceed 55 million euros.
Inter had previously shown interest in the player. According to the source, the Italian club is not ready to accept Chelsea's offer. Apparently, Palestra only needs to get final approval from his club.
The 21-year-old right-back spent last season on loan at Cagliari. He was named the best defender in Serie A for the 2025/26 season, scoring one goal and making four assists in 37 appearances.
