Atalanta revive interest in Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis

Atalanta are monitoring Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis ahead of the January transfer window as they look to add another attacking option.

The Serie A club are seeking a player who can provide greater variety on the wings and are particularly interested in the profile of the 24-year-old Algeria international. Ghedjemis’ performances have already attracted attention in Italy, with Atalanta having previously considered a move for him during the summer transfer window.

According to Atalanta Reporter, Ghedjemis is one of three players on the club’s shortlist. The other names are Edon Zhegrova and Tijjani Noslin.

The interest was initially linked to Cristiano Giuntoli during the summer, meaning Atalanta’s focus on Ghedjemis is not a new development. The renewed attention suggests the club continue to view him as a potential solution to their need for greater attacking depth.

A move to Atalanta would give Ghedjemis the chance to take on a new challenge with a bigger Serie A club. It would also allow him to continue his development in a leading division with which he is already familiar. His attacking qualities could bring extra pace, penetration and options to Atalanta’s forward line.

However, the transfer is dependent on the Italian club’s financial position. Atalanta would need to complete several departures before being able to pursue their recruitment plans in January. As a result, any approach for Ghedjemis could depend on the sales they manage to make during that period.

The winger remains under contract with Frosinone until 30 June 2030. His estimated market value is €12m, a figure that could make the deal dependent on Atalanta’s ability to create room in their budget through player sales.

Ghedjemis will next be involved with Frosinone in their Serie A fixture against AC Milan, which is the club’s match in the 12th round of the Italian championship. The listed odds for the game are 4.60 for a Frosinone victory, 4.40 for a draw and 1.36 for an AC Milan win.
