The transfer market axis between Milan and Bergamo could suddenly heat up in the last three weeks of summer negotiations: Milan has concretely set its sights on Nicola Zalewski, a Polish external player owned by Atalanta, identified by the Via Aldo Rossi management as the ideal reinforcement for the left lane in Rúben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 module. This sensational rumor, launched by journalist Marco Ramiccia for milanvibes.it, finds support in the radical tactical changes in Atalanta, where the advent of new coach Maurizio Sarri has progressively pushed the former Roma player to the margins of the project, sparking the interest of the Rossonero club in view of the upcoming Serie A championship.

The Atalanta has officially opened up to the possibility of a definitive sale of the Polish lateral player. Having arrived in Bergamo in August 2025 for 17 million euros, Zalewski is not considered a suitable profile for Maurizio Sarri's football identity, who intends to abandon the three-man defense to set up a four-man line. In this new scenario, the external player of the Polish national team, who already has 36 appearances and 4 goals with his national team jersey, risks finding very little space or being forced into roles that are not his, which is why his agents are moving to evaluate the various expressions of interest received.
