Atalanta have reportedly offered a contract to Guangzhou Evergrande striker Alberto Gilardino.
The 32-year-old Italian international looks set to leave the Chinese giants in the winter, and is keen on a return to the peninsula to continue his career.
Sky Sport Italia report that Atalanta are desperately in the market for a new forward, with star German Denis only hitting the net once in 15 Serie A matches so far this season.
The Orobici have offered Gilardino a contract worth €800,00 a season in the hope of enticing the ex-AC Milan man to make the move to Atalanta.
Atalanta are now waiting to have contact with Evergrande director Marcello Lippi to try to thrash out a deal that suits both parties.
