Atalanta have agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old Croatian defender Bartol Levačić from Varaždin, securing another promising talent for their academ byy.
Levačić, a centre-back born in 2010, has already represented Croatia at Under-16 level and attracted attention with his potential. The move is part of Atalanta’s continued strategy of investing in young players and developing them through their renowned academy.
The agreement was reported on August 6, with the defender expected to continue his development in Bergamo. Reports indicate that the transfer was set to be completed following the necessary formalities, including a medical and contract signing.
Atalanta see Levačić as a long-term investment rather than an immediate first-team addition. The Croatian youngster will be given time to develop within the club’s youth system as he works towards potentially making the step up to senior football in the future.
The move further highlights Atalanta’s focus on identifying talented young players early and providing them with a pathway towards professional football.
