Chelsea star player Mario Pasalic has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, and he has been in the news consistently as a result of this.
Nicolo Schira (of Gazzetta dello Sport) has given a new update about the player that should be of interest to Chelsea fans.
Pasalic has been close to leaving Stamford Bridge on loan for the past few weeks, and it seems he is bound to join Fiorentina.
It was made known that the Croatian midfielder had assured the Italian club that he will sign for them, but everything was paused during Chelsea’s managerial issues.
However, since the Stamford Bridge club have finally sorted out things, arrivals and exits can now take place (and are already taking place).
Nevertheless, according to the new report, Atalanta have destroyed Fiorentina’s plans by offering a much-improved deal to Chelsea for Pasalic’s signature.
Gazzetta dello Sport made it known that Chelsea’s billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has accepted Atalanta’s offer – a loan with a view to buying him for 15 Million Euros, and because of this, his side won’t allow the Croat to join Fiorentina anymore this summer.
It was also added that Mario has eventually agreed to join Atalanta and has discussed with the club’s boss Gian Piero Gasperini.
