I understand that it's not like the big teams, but it will never get there if it keeps selling off talent.
In any case, let's see what they do next year. I expect at least a decent season, I'm not saying at the level of last season but I'm happy with something decent.

Last season, they finished third, an impressive achievement. However, Atalanta hasn't had a team that can maintain their top quality in the following season due to the management's frequent sale of key players in the transfer market and their lack of a champion mentality.
Next season will likely be even tougher for them, as Gasperini's departure will undoubtedly force Atalanta to start anew with a new coach, Ivan Juric.
On the one hand, in the title race, we're still favored over Napoli, Inter Milan, and Juventus, but I feel that this season, AC Milan will be better prepared to put up a more compelling fight.
Atalanta certainly has a tighter schedule. We're eager to see Juric stabilize the team's performance during a busy schedule like the Champions League and Serie A. He will be Atalanta fans' hope for a prestigious trophy this season.

Atalanta usually starts the season well but then struggles to maintain consistency, as the team simply drops in form and starts losing matches that seemed "already won." Juric needs to set the team up properly and identify potential issues he’ll have to resolve.I'm a Napoli fan, but i've always had a soft spot for Atalanta, especially during the UEL final when Lookman scored a hattrick.As for Milan, the departure of Hernandez will definitely complicate things at the full back position, but since they won't be playing in europe this season, i think both Milan and Lazio will be fully focused on the scudetto.On the other hand, Napoli, Inter, and Juventus,who will have european commitments could also make the title race more unpredictable.I honestly hope Napoli will achieve a lot in europe this season, especially since their transfers so far have been spot on
