Serie A giants Atalanta and Championship rivals Leicester City have both stepped up efforts to sign Swansea City's Joel Piroe this week.
WalesOnline had previously reported that a side near the top of the Italian league had taken a serious interest in the Dutchman, and it can now be revealed that it's the Bergamo club who are in the race.
Both Atalanta and the newly-relegated Foxes are believed to have made contact with Piroe's representatives this week to discuss the possibility of a move this summer, with the striker looking increasingly likely to leave south Wales before the close of the window.
