"Atalanta" started strengthening their lineup before the historical season - one of the first newcomers was 28-year-old Colombian national team forward Luis Muriel.
Last season, the Colombian defended the honor of two teams - "Sevilla" and "Fiorentina". He started the season in Spain, and in winter he was loaned to "Fiorentina" and scored nine goals in 23 games for that team.
It is reported that L. Muriel has signed a four-year contract, and "Atalanta" will pay 15 million euros to "Sevilla" for him.
The Colombian belonged to the Andalusians for two years. Before that, he played for other Italian teams - "Sampdoria", "Lecce", and "Udinese".
"Atalanta" will compete in the Champions League next season - they finished third in the "Serie A" championship.
