What happened: Atalanta has reached a five-year agreement with midfielder Sergej Levak. The contract keeps the prospect with the club through June 2031.
Why it matters: The move secures a young talent for the senior squad under Maurizio Sarri, who recently agreed to take over Atalanta. Levak's promotion provides depth as the club reshapes its midfield following Éderson's €45 million transfer to Manchester United.
By the numbers: Levak, a 6-foot-6 central midfielder, joined Atalanta U23 in July 2025. He previously developed in AS Roma's youth system before moving to Bergamo.
What to watch: Levak will integrate into the first-team squad for preseason preparations as Sarri begins his managerial tenure.
