Atalanta leading race against Sassuolo for Spezia's Erlic

Atalanta is looking to Martin Erlic for their defense. 

 Sassuolo is also interested in the Spezia defender, but at the moment the Bergamo club is leading the race as they would be willing to leave him on loan with Spezia for another year.  

 The Percassi owned club has deepened the talks for Erlic over the past few days during the talks for Roberto Piccoli, Arkadiusz Reca and Ebrima Colley. The Ligurians would like to hold onto the defender for another year. It is a battle between the two clubs, but Sassuolo have an advantage as they previously sold the defender to Spezia and own a 50% future sale clause with Spezia, would could help them repurchase him for a smaller fee in regards to Atalanta.
