Atalanta Keeping Tabs on Wolves Goalkeeper Rui Patricio

Portuguese Shot-Stopper on Serie A Club's Radar

Experienced Star Could Bolster Atalanta's European Hopes

Italian Serie A outfit Atalanta are reportedly monitoring the situation of experienced Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

The 34-year-old Portuguese international has been a key figure for Wolves since joining from Sporting CP in 2018, making over 150 appearances for the Premier League club.

However, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2023, Patricio's future at Molineux is uncertain, and Atalanta are said to be interested in acquiring his services.

Atalanta are keen to strengthen their goalkeeping department, with current first-choice Pierluigi Gollini expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

Patricio's wealth of experience and proven quality at the highest level would make him a valuable addition to Atalanta's squad.

The Bergamo-based club are currently fifth in Serie A and are looking to secure a top-four finish and a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.

Patricio, who has 105 caps for Portugal, has a wealth of experience at international level, having represented his country at three major tournaments.

His impressive shot-stopping abilities and vocal presence in the penalty area would make him a valuable asset to Atalanta's defense.

Whether or not Atalanta can convince Patricio to join them remains to be seen, but his experience and quality would undoubtedly be a major boost to their team.
