Atalanta 7 goals and 3 assists midfielder Malinovsky, why did not join the Milan duo

In the 25th round of Serie A, Atalanta team played a 1-1 draw at home with Juventus.

Player Malinovsky helped Atalanta break the deadlock in the second half, with Juventus full-back Danilo equalising near the end of the game.

After this game, Malinovsky has scored seven goals for Atalanta this season and contributed three assists.

Malinovsky, 28, is a Ukrainian player. The player has been linked to transfers to Inter Milan and AC Milan in the past.

When Conte was in charge of Inter last season, Inter executive Arisio wanted to sign Malinovsky. But Conte found it difficult for the players to adapt to his tactical system, which led to Malinovsky not joining Inter Milan in the end.

Foreign media reported that the Nerazzurri had negotiated with Atalanta last year on Malinovsky's transfer, but Conte said Malinovsky would struggle to secure a place in his 3-5-2 system, which led to the two clubs not reaching a deal in the end.

Last summer, after Char khanoglu left AC Milan, the Rossoneri took Malinovsky as a replacement. But because Atalanta didn't want to sell their starters to direct contenders for a Champions League spot, that made AC Milan miss out on the player as well.
