Free-scoring Atalanta have won friends at home and abroad for their exploits over the last few seasons, but they have not impressed Juventus president Andrea Agnelli.
The Bergamo side clinched the third of Serie A's four qualification places for the Champions League in 2019-20, thanks in part to the goalscoring heroics of Duvan Zapata who smashed 23 goals to finish ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the top scorer table.
All indications suggest that they are on course to have an equally successful campaign this time round as they sit in fourth place, three points clear of Roma in fifth.
