Atalanta are keen to re-sign winger Amad Diallo on loan but must comply with Manchester United’s requests to stand any chance of doing a deal.
The 19-year-old spent four years in the Atalanta youth ranks before making his senior debut in October 2019. He made five appearances in total before agreeing to sign for United in October 2020. He completed his move in January, with the youngster inking a five-year contract with the option of an extra year.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appeared to hint that the African might be in his plans for 2021-2022. A loan is still possible but the Norwegian laid out the conditions for a temporary exit.
“With Amad, I have to say he’s doing really, really well in training. He’s come back a little later after the Olympics and now he’s looking really good,” he told reporters on Friday.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays as well. It has to be the right loan, the club, way of playing etc.”
Atalanta are eager to land their former player on a season-long loan. The outlet claims manager Gian Piero Gasperini has ‘requested the return of Amad Diallo on loan’ as a ‘last-minute operation’.
And the report adds that the wide man knows the ‘working methods very well’ and should fit in. It goes on the suggest United would ‘like a guaranteed attendance clause for the player’.
