Presenting Nicolò Zaniolo: the press conference in brief
The Italian forward: 'The most suitable step for my career'
The Centro Bortolotti hosted the press conference for the presentation of Nicolò Zaniolo, the 25-year-old Italian forward who joined Atalanta from Galatasaray.
Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi did the honours: 'We are very proud to have brought Nicolò to Atalanta. We know what he can do, we have always feared and respected him as an opponent. From the very first day of training camp, he was the first to arrive at the training ground, showing a great desire to recover and prove his worth. This is a sign that he is behaving in perfect Atalanta style.'
"Allow me to begin by extending my thanks- said Zaniolo - to the Percassi family, to the Sporting Director Tony D’Amico, to coach Gasperini and the whole staffing altogether for giving me the chance to don such a coveted shirt. As soon as I heard of Atalanta's interest, I turned down any possible offer. I saw their project as the most suitable step for my career".
