The club announced it to him: Colombian Luis Muriel will remain in Atalanta for the entire season

They do not want him to leave and they already indicated it to him. Luis Muriel has had one of his most complicated seasons as an Atalanta player, this due to injuries and poor continuity on the field of play. However, in the last game against Udinese he excelled with a double and Bergamo’s men let him know that he is a key part of the squad.

As reported by Gazzeta dello Sport, Atalanta has no intention of letting Muriel leave and, even, in the coming weeks they will try to renew his contract, the same one that ends in 2023.

It should be noted that the Colombian’s agent has been contacting different teams in Europe. Different Italian media linked Muriel with Juventus, as a possible piece of change, however, Gasperini has the participation of Muriel and considers him an important part of the project.

In this way, the 30-year-old will continue to be part of the Bergamo team and will look for an opportunity within the club, which usually has Duván Zapata as its main striker, who is also a Colombian national.

Although Luisfer was looking for his departure, the reality is that he has become a historic goalscorer for the club with a total of 50 goals in two and a half seasons; and, if he stays in the club, he will continue adding annotations.

Muriel returned to the starting position against Udinese, a team in which he was from 2012 to 2015. The Colombian was reunited with the goal after a drought that lasted since November 23, when he scored in Atalanta’s clash against Young Boys in the Champions League.
