Atalanta are reportedly interested in signing Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The Denmark international played a key role for the Ligue 1 team under both Roberto De Zerbi and Habib Beye, regularly captaining the side during an impressive campaign.

Despite Hojbjerg’s desire to remain at the Stade Velodrome, his future could depend on Marseille’s financial situation. 

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the French club are believed to be open to selling almost any player for the right offer as they seek to ease economic pressure, with concerns also lingering over their UEFA status. 

Atalanta view the 30-year-old as an ideal addition, while sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has long admired the former Tottenham midfielder.

 Although a deal is currently difficult, Marseille’s circumstances could eventually make a transfer possible.
