Fares Ghedjemis future unclear as Atalanta links lack formal approach

Fares Ghedjemis remains linked with a possible move to Atalanta, but there has been no official approach for the Frosinone player despite reports that the Italian club could make a move during the January transfer window.

The Algeria international only recently extended his contract with Frosinone until June 2030. However, his future has continued to attract attention in Italy, with Atalanta reportedly considering whether to pursue the winger when the winter market opens.

Atalanta’s interest is thought to have been strengthened by Ghedjemis’ performance against them in a thrilling match that ended 4-4. The Algerian provided three assists and was named player of the match after producing an influential display.

Reports in the Italian press have subsequently suggested Atalanta’s directors remain keen to recruit him from Frosinone in January. That prospect has raised questions given the player’s recent contract extension, but information from a source familiar with the situation indicates the transfer is not as advanced as some reports have suggested.

No official contact or offer

Contacted by Maghreb-Foot, the source said Ghedjemis had not received any official approach from Atalanta. There has therefore been no formal step towards a deal, despite the reported interest in his profile.

The source was categorical on the matter, with no official contact or financial proposal recorded so far. The situation means speculation over a possible January transfer should be treated cautiously.

Although Atalanta appear to have taken notice of the player, there is currently no evidence of negotiations between the clubs. Any suggestion that a move away from Frosinone is imminent is therefore premature.

For now, Ghedjemis is concentrating on his international duties. The forward has returned to the Algeria squad after missing the previous gathering and will be hoping to use his recall to establish himself more firmly in the plans of the national team.

His club future could still change in the coming weeks, with the January window yet to open. However, a distinction remains between Atalanta’s reported interest and a formal transfer process: no approach has been made and no offer has been submitted.

Frosinone will soon play their 12th match of the Italian championship against AC Milan.
