Atalanta are reportedly looking to conclude a deal for Almeria forward El Bilal Toure today, in a potential boost for Manchester United in their pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund.
United have been keeping tabs on Hojlund in recent weeks as Erik ten Hag focuses on adding a new striker to his squad ahead of the new season.
The main sticking point with the deal has been the fee involved, with Atalanta seeking £86m to allow Hojlund to leave, while United are determined not to spend more than £60m on him.
However, it appears Atalanta may be already preparing for life without Hojlund after stepping up their interest in Bilal Toure.
