Gasperini said, “Atalanta can’t afford big-money signings, so they must look for opportunities. Have (Charles) De Ketelaere and (Gianluca) Scamacca improved? Partially. It was just the first season.
“One day, Borriello called me and said, ‘Mister, I have a player who wants to join you. He is strong, a beast.’ I replied, ‘Who is he? Zaniolo?’
"I spoke to (agent Andrea) D’Amico and then (chief exec Luca) Percassi. I was interested, so he arrived.”
