Video: Samardzic arrives for Atalanta medical

Lazar Samardzic has arrived at Milan‘s La Madonnina Clinic to undergo medical tests with Atalanta.

The Serbia international will complete a permanent €20m transfer plus €5m add-ons.

Celtic’s Matt O’Riley was Atalanta’s primary target, but after weeks of negotiations, they failed to reach an agreement with the Scottish club, so they shook hands with Udinese instead.

Samardzic will sign a contract until June 2028 with an option for a further campaign.

His club, Udinese, make their 2024-25 Serie A debut against Bologna today, while Atalanta will visit Lecce on Monday at 18:30 CET.
