Transfer interest is building around Ian Maatsen, with Atalanta understood to be weighing-up a move for the Aston Villa defender. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Atalanta are progressing without added pressure. Atalanta's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.8 goals per game (4 in 5). Ian Maatsen would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Aston Villa have also been linked with Leandro Trossard, Alexis Saelemaekers and Alex Remiro while Atalanta are reportedly monitoring Tyrell Malacia, Julio Enciso and Federico Chiesa.
