Isak Hien, the 24-year-old Swedish-born Ghanaian defender, has crossed Serie A borders once again, leaving behind his stint with Hellas Verona for a promising future at Atalanta.
Following a stellar debut season with Verona, where Hien showcased his defensive prowess in 33 league matches, 29 of which he started, the Swedish defender caught the attention of football giants like Juventus, Milan, and Atalanta.
The summer transfer window has been full of speculation surrounding Hien’s next move, with various clubs expressing interest in securing his talents.
However, the suspense has finally come to an end as reports from Italy confirm that Atalanta has emerged victorious in the race for Hien’s signature. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who is often the first to break such significant news, affirmed yesterday that both clubs have reached an agreement.
Adding to the confirmation, recent reports from Italy indicate that Hien has successfully completed his medical examination, a crucial step in finalizing the deal. If all goes as planned, the defender is poised to sign a contract that will bind him to Atalanta until 2028.
