For months, Atalanta worked on the transfer of Jeremie Boga and they finally succeeded. ‘The Goddess of Bergamo’ officially confirmed today the transfer of the talented African winger.This summer, the club from Bergamo tried to bring the Ivorian from Sassuolo, but the Neroverdi then set a high price of 40 million USD, which other interested clubs such as Sevilla and Rennes did not want to pay. But as the player was nearing the end of his contract in the summer of 2023, Sassuolo had to give in and agree to sell him. Atalanta’s final offer could not be rejected.Sun, 6/2, 17.00: (3.15) SAMPDORIA (3.40) SASSUOLO (2.40)Different information was offered to the public regarding the amount of the transfer and probably the most accurate is – according to the Italian media – the one stating the transfer amounted 25 million USD fixed plus 3.4 million through bonuses.Boga will only formally come to Bergamo on loan because Atalanta is obliged to buy him out in the summer. Sassuolo will thus earn around 11.5 million USD – on the other hand, Neroverdi paid Chelsea a total of 14.7 million USD for the Ivory Coast national team player.Sun, 6/2, 17.00: (1.30) ATALANTA (6.25) CAGLIARI (10.00)Boga ‘grew up’ with the London Blues but had to spend time on loans in Rennes, Granada and Birmingham until he finally found his happiness in Italy. With great games in Sassuolo shirt, has gained a reputation as one of the best dribblers in Serie A. He is a classic left-wing and is phenomenal in one-on-one situations that could come to full expression in Gasperini’s ultra-offensive football on the flanks.Boga is currently with the Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations and will join Atalanta after the competition. Sassuolo made good money on this transfer and will not miss Boga on the pitch that much, considering the form of their offensive trio Raspadori, Berardi and Scamacca. On the other hand, Atalanta needed a signing like this as it will most certainly create room for Alexei Miranchuk’s departure to Genoa.Insigne equals Maradona’s Napoli scoring record of 115 goals
