Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has long been courted by AC Milan in the past, is now reportedly close from joining Serie A rivals Atalanta ahead of the next summer transfer window.
According to what was reported by Tuttosport, in addition to AZ Alkmaar's Teun Koopmeiners, with whom they are having negotiations reaching a very advanced stage, the Black and Blues are considering the Japan international as a great target for the club.
In fact, Tomiyasu could sign for Atalanta on a swap deal, which would see Ebrima Colley - club winger loaned to Hellas Verona - end up joining the Rossoblu, as learned by the same source.
