Atalanta boss Sarri ‘happy that the window is over’ and highlights Malen threat for Roma

Atalanta's coach Maurizio Sarri expressed satisfaction that the summer transfer window had closed, as he warned Roma about the threat posed by Donyell Malen. The Dutchman has already made an impact since joining Roma and will be one of Atalanta's main attacking challenges. Sarri highlighted the physical challenge that awaits his team, noting that Atalanta has already played four matches in just 11 days, limiting their ability to train and prepare for the upcoming fixture.

The coach was content with his club's summer business and can now concentrate solely on football. When discussing Roma, Sarri suggested they should be considered genuine contenders for the Scudetto after further strengthening during the summer. He praised Gasperini, describing him as a "very strong coach," but emphasized that Saturday's match would be a difficult one for Atalanta, who will try to play their game without fear.
