Report: Atalanta discussing £5M move for Swansea's Paloschi

Swansea City striker Alberto Paloschi could be heading back to Italy just a few months after leaving the peninsula for the Premier League.

Atalanta is discussing a potential £5-million deal to bring the 26-year-old back to Serie A, according to Sky Sports, and Swansea is apparently prepared to let him leave at a loss.

Paloschi joined the Swans in January for a reported £8 million, and although they escaped the clutches of relegation, he didn't make much of an impact.

The Italian scored just two Premier League goals in 10 appearances, despite renewing his professional relationship with manager Francesco Guidolin, who coached Paloschi at Parma between 2008-2010.
