In the book “Soccernomics” by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski, we read about the theory that success in football is not determined by the amount of money spent on transfers, and the costs associated with paying players’ salaries. which puts her in the middle in Serie A. But although many clubs spend much more (for comparison: they pay more than 170 million euros per year), Atalanta still remains in the lead in the league for three seasons in a row she was third in the league and three times shone in the salons of the Champions League.
Atalanta’s success comes from her good academy, great scouting, and also. The Italian has been training in Bergamo since 2016 and though. The fans would not be delighted with Atalanta’s beautiful, offensive style if it were not for the club authorities, which invest money wisely. The Percassi family (billionaire Antonio and his son Luca) think strategically and for the future. When they received money for their Champions League debut two years ago, they immediately allocated it to the modernization of the stadium and the training center. However, everything indicates that the Percassi family will lose most of its shares in the days to come. But fans of Atalanta shouldn’t worry.
Atalanta will be bought!
According to Sky Sports, an agreement was concluded between Atalanta and the American KKR fund. The Percassi family is to sell most of the shares. “La Gazzetta dello Sport” writes by 55 percent, and Sky Sports by even 85 percent. In both versions, one thing does not change: Luca Percassi would remain CEO. Together with his father, they are to receive approximately EUR 350 million.
Apparently, American investors are very impressed with how Atalanta has operated in recent years and hope that the club from Bergamo will continue to develop dynamically. LGdS says the contract will be signed on Monday.
