Alajbegovic’s Rapid Rise and Impressive Campaign

Last season, he was on loan at RB Salzburg, where he produced an impressive return of 13 goals and 4 assists across 44 competitive fixtures, further enhancing his reputation as a promising attacking talent.
Player Seeking Insight From International Team-mate
As speculation surrounding his future increases, Alajbegovic has reportedly sought advice from Bosnia and Herzegovina team-mate Sead Kolasinac. Kolasinac, a member of Atalanta since the summer of 2023 and part of the squad that secured the Europa League title in 2024, has given guidance on lifestyle in Serie A and living in Bergamo, indicating Alajbegovic is seriously weighing the potential switch.
