OM Scouting: Atalanta’s Rising Star

Gabriel Ramaj is establishing himself as one of the most followed young defenders in European football. Aged 19, the left-handed central defender of Atalanta Primavera is having a remarkable season, to the point of attracting the attention of several clubs across the continent, including Olympique de Marseille.

Born on February 9, 2006, Ramaj is today one of the executives of the Atalanta reserve team, for which he regularly wears the captain’s armband. A strong mark of confidence from the Bergamo club, renowned for the quality of its training and its ability to nurture young talents at the highest level.

Performance closely monitored in Europe

It is particularly in the UEFA Youth League that the defender distinguished himself. Solid in duels, calm under pressure and precise in recovery, Gabriel Ramaj displayed great maturity despite his young age. His left foot, his reading of the game and his ability to build from the back perfectly match the current standards of the central defender position.

According to information from journalist Rudy Galetti, transfer window specialist, several European clubs are carefully monitoring its development. Among them are Olympique de Marseille, but also Slavia Prague and FC St. Gallen, clubs renowned for providing playing time and opportunities to young developing talents.

Albanian international hopeful, Ramaj was recently called up to the U21 selection, confirming his growing status on the international scene. At Atalanta, his progress is fully in line with the tradition of the club, recognized as one of the best training centers in Europe.
