‘Hottest name’ – CL side ‘intensify interest’ in Sheffield United player, ‘competition intensifies’ for signature

It is claimed that the defender’s value has dropped to €15-18m following Sheffield United’s relegation and the Italian club are looking to complete the deal for around €10-12m.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is not the only club interested in the player. Lazio are named as one of Ahmedhodžić’s suitors and have not made a bid so far.

It is explained that with “competition intensifying”, Atalanta could decide to quickly step up their efforts to secure a deal for the Sheffield United player.

Atalanta secured a place in the Champions League after winning the Europa League last month. Ahmedhodžić can play in Europe’s elite club competition, should he join them.
