Atalanta managing director Luca Percassi says they're happy with the arrival of Lee Congerton.

Congerton is taking charge of transfer policy at La Dea, having joined at the beginning of the month from Leicester City.

Percassi said: "Lee came to expand and strengthen the structure, it was an opportunity that we took advantage of.

"This is what I can say, if there are opportunities we are ready to seize them."

Congerton's appointment has cast doubt on the future of sports chief Giovanni Sartori, who has been linked with Bologna and Juventus.
