Breathing life since 1907, Atalanta are settled snugly within the confines of The New Balance Arena over in Italy's flourishing football landscape. It's a football club not without its merits and charm.
Their hues of black and blue can be found adorned on a healthy squad of 21 brawny lads, boasting an average age of a spry 26 years. It's a fitting age; the blend of zealous youth and seasoned knowledge offering no doubt a thrilling contrast on the pitch.
The appeal of Atalanta comes not merely from their promising youth, but also their burgeoning market value. According to Transfermarkt, the Club can boast a striking total market value in the ballpark of £320m. Nothing to sneeze at, after all.
The current season sees Atalanta doing a fine dance across the boards of 3 competitions. Most noticeably, in the ever-hot races of Serie A where they currently hold a respectable 7th spot. They caught the spotlight in the Semi-Finals of the Coppa Italia, and gave a nod-worthy performance reaching the Last 16 in the Champions League. It's all part and parcel of the fascinating narrative woven by the Club in their ongoing journey towards the acme of European football.
