Duvan Zapata was one of the revelations of last season in Serie A for Atalanta. The Colombian has caught the attention of big teams including Atletico Madrid.

After having confirmed the extension of Morata's loan spell at the club for another season before becoming an Atletico player, the 'Rojiblancos' do not want to let go a player who could leave this summer.

The price which Atalanta have given to Atletico Madrid is 50 million euros according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. However, that was just a first sign of interest from the Spanish side.

"The team's best players will stay for next season, with Zapata leading the way," the Atalanta president, Antonio Percassi, said a while back over the possibility of a departure. That said, the Colombian is on loan at Atalanta from Sampdoria although the Champions League side have the option to buy him.

Several top level clubs have shown interest in Duvan Zapata. As well as Atletico Madrid, Genoa, Juventus and Napoli have asked about Zapata.
