However, as Tuttosport notes, the Old Lady will have difficulty reaching a compromise with La Dea. According to the source, the Dutchman is now valued by the Orobici at 60 million euros, a sum that Juventus is extremely unlikely to match. Furthermore, Atalanta believes they will have enough money to turn down bids for the 26-year-old should they win the Champions League the following year.
Gian Piero Gasperini's team is now sixth in the standings, but if Serie A were to gain an extra slot according to the league's coefficient points, then finishing fifth may be sufficient. Juventus may perhaps rekindle their interest in Samardzic. Last summer, the 22-year-old was about to sign with Inter. In January, he was also a strong contender to sign with Napoli. However, the midfielder is still at Udinese, where they are presently involved in a struggle for relegation.
