Lutsharel Geertruida could be set for a new club as active negotiations between Atalanta and Leipzig are ongoing over a potential transfer. The defender is seen as the perfect addition to the squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. Sunderland, Marseille and Nottingham Forest remain in the background, but for now, Atalanta are leading the way in ongoing talks. Atalanta's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.83 goals per game (5 in 6). Lutsharel Geertruida would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Leipzig continue to be linked with Fabio Silva, Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Christopher Nkunku while Atalanta are also rumoured to be tracking Robin Gosens, Tyrell Malacia and Ian Maatsen.
