Atalanta fans would prefer Pierluigi Gollini to be installed as their first choice goalkeeper next season. The 22-year-old joined the Serie A side from Aston Villa in January.
However, 50% of the Atalanta fans think Gollini should be ahead of Berisha in the pecking order, with 45% voting for the Albania international, and 5% going for ‘other’.
There have been been claims Atalanta may turn down the chance to sign Berisha this summer. The player spent last season on loan with the Bergamo side from Lazio, but Atalanta feel the redemption fee is too high. Subsequently they may turn to Gollini next season.
This could have implications for Aston Villa as it’s more than likely Atalanta will sign Gollini on a permanent deal if he can establish himself as the first choice keeper. The youngster still has a year left on his loan move, and Atalanta can sign him outright from Aston Villa next summer for €3m.
