It's official: Marco Palestra is a new Chelsea player. The Italian winger and former Rossoblu player, having left Atalanta, is joining the Premier League, thus putting an end to any speculation about a move to Inter.
Coming off a growing season with Cagliari Calcio, where he stood out under the guidance of Fabio Pisacane , Palestra has signed a contract that will tie him to the new team until 2033.
Chelsea announced the deal in an official statement: "Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of Italian international Marco Palestra from Atalanta. The defender has signed a contract until 2033 and will join his new teammates for pre-season training under Xabi Alonso." The deal is valued at €55 million, plus bonuses, with Atalanta also retaining a 10% interest in any future resale.
