Michael Folorunsho 15 Million Euros transfer from Napoli to Atalanta has been scuttled no thanks to a long-term injury suffered by striker Gianluca Scamacca.
Atalanta have now been forced to change their transfer strategy after Scammaca suffered an ACL injury that will sideline him for at least six months.
According to Sportitalia, this means that Atalanta will now have to get a new centre-forward and part of the budget for a midfielder will have to be used to do so.
The Bergamo club had already shaken hands with Folorunsho and Napoli on a deal only to come back to them on the latest development.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been at Napoli since 2019 and had hoped Atalanta would be the next step of his career.
