Aston Villa, Fulham, and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Italian international Raoul Bellanova from Serie A club Atalanta this summer.

According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Raoul Bellanova is the subject of interest from Fulham. Aston Villa and West Ham United are also keen on signing the Atalanta wing-back in the summer transfer window. However, the Cottagers are the “most active club” chasing his signature, with the Serie A outfit demanding €40 million to part ways with the Italian international.

The recent rise of Raoul Bellanova

Raoul Bellanova has continued his ascent in stature in Serie A since joining Atalanta from Torino last summer. The Rho native could not find a stable footing for the initial phase of his professional career before landing on his feet during his spell with Torino.

The 25-year-old has seen his stock soar since joining Atalanta, and he enjoyed a productive 2024/25 campaign by amassing one goal and 11 assists in 45 appearances in all competitions. Meanwhile, Bellanova’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Fulham, and West Ham United.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Aston Villa and West Ham United were also keen on signing the Italian international last summer before the deal failed to see the light of day. Aston Villa’s continued interest makes no sense, as the West Midlands signed Andres Garcia earlier this year. So, unless they sell a right-back, the Villans do not need another option in the position.

Meanwhile, West Ham United’s interest is understandable, even though Aaron Wan-Bissaka was excellent in the 2024/25 season and won the East London club’s Player of the Year award. However, the Hammers are parting ways with Vladimir Coufal as a free agent in the summer transfer window, and they must sign a long-term replacement.

As for Fulham, the West London club will dip into the market for a right-back as they will likely part ways with Kenny Tete in the summer transfer window. So, Bellanova has emerged as a viable target for Fulham. The Cottagers are the “most active club” chasing the Atalanta wing-back’s signature.

Meanwhile, the Serie A club will demand around €40 million to part ways with the 25-year-old Italian international in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see if a move worth €40 million to Craven Cottage is on the cards for Bellanova.
