“Atalanta” returned to the talks with “Genk“ on the midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi’s transfer.

According to data provided by Gazzetta dello Sport, “The Goddess” managed to leave “Sampdoria” behind, as well as to cut the 26-year-old Ukrainian’s transfer fee down from 20 million euros, demanded by the Belgians, to 13–14 million euros.

The source holds that the deal will be finalized as early as the next week, but only after the parties agree on a percentage of the future sale of Malinovskyi.

To recap, at the very beginning of summer the Ukrainian blamed “Genk“ for unwillingness to fulfill its own promises.
