亚特兰大坚持5000万要价，国米引进帕莱斯特拉受阻

国际米兰追求马尔科·帕莱斯特拉的计划正面临搁浅风险，亚特兰大对这名边翼卫的要价超过5000万欧元，英超的纽卡斯尔联和曼城也对球员虎视眈眈，可能直接将蓝黑军团挤出竞争。（原文：Inter’s pursuit of Marco Palestra is at serious risk of collapse, with Atalanta demanding in excess of €50 million for the wing-back and Premier League interest from Newcastle United and Manchester City threatening to price the Nerazzurri out of the running entirely.）

帕莱斯特拉已经进入国际米兰的视野，被确定为接替邓弗里斯的主要人选。后者即将转会皇家马德里，而帕莱斯特拉上赛季租借至卡利亚里期间的表现让人眼前一亮。不过，眼下的这笔交易远没有想象中那么简单，外界已经开始将其与国际米兰去年夏天求购卢克曼失败的经历相提并论。（原文：Palestra has emerged as Inter’s primary target to replace Denzel Dumfries following his imminent move to Real Madrid, with the youngster having impressed on loan at Cagliari last season. However, the operation is proving far more complicated than initially anticipated, with parallels already being drawn to the club’s failed pursuit of Ademola Lookman last summer.）

国际米兰的希望很大程度上系于帕莱斯特拉本人的意愿。据报道，相较于纽卡斯尔，这名球员更倾向于加盟蓝黑军团，这给了国际米兰在谈判中一定的回旋余地。但根据TuttoMercatoWeb的报道，一旦曼城正式提交报价，局势将完全改变，帕莱斯特拉的心仪选项会转向这家英超豪门。（原文：Inter’s hopes rest significantly on Palestra’s own preference. The player is understood to favour a move to the Nerazzurri over Newcastle, a factor that gives the club some leverage in negotiations. However, that dynamic changes entirely if Manchester City submit a formal offer, at which point, according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Palestra’s preference would shift towards the Premier League giants.）

另一条可能缓解资金压力的路径也被堵死了。国际米兰原本希望将年轻后卫马泰奥·科基加入交易，但亚特兰大对这名2007年出生的小将并不足够信服，不愿意接受以球员加现金的方式完成买卖。这意味着国际米兰几乎没有其他选择，必须筹集超过5000万欧元的纯现金报价。对于一家还必须平衡欧冠奖金损失带来的财政影响的俱乐部来说，这笔开销绝非小数目。（原文：A potential sweetener that could have eased the financial burden has also been ruled out. Inter had hoped to include young defender Matteo Cocchi in any deal for Palestra, but Atalanta are not sufficiently convinced by the 2007-born talent to accept him as part of the package. That leaves Inter with little choice but to find a cash offer north of €50 million, a significant outlay for a club that must also balance the loss of Champions League prize money considerations.）

亚特兰大此番强硬的立场，延续了这家贝加莫俱乐部一贯的做派。他们素来擅长从最炙手可热的球员身上榨取最大价值，目下在帕莱斯特拉的要价上丝毫没有松动的迹象。（原文：Atalanta’s firm stance reflects a pattern of behaviour from the Bergamo club, who have consistently extracted maximum value from their most coveted assets and show no sign of softening their position on Palestra.）
