According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Atalanta currently has 6 academy players in the first team squad, but the academy's output is no longer consistent, and the U23 side is failing to consistently produce talent.

In the general perception, Atalanta is a model club—this is likely true, as their costs remain significantly lower than revenue, player sales revenue keeps structural costs low, and selling players has offset some minor financial irregularities. However, Atalanta's academy is no longer consistently producing talent as it once did. It is believed that the gap between academy players and the first team is widening, with many players requiring loan spells before they can be utilized by the first team. For example, Dejan Kulusevski, who rarely wore Atalanta's black and blue striped jersey with the first team, was sold for €60 million.

The original purpose of establishing the Primavera team was to supply backup talent to the first team. However, during Gian Piero Gasperini's tenure, Dusan Vlahovic was the top scorer in Serie C but rarely got playing time. Currently, there are six academy products in the first team: two goalkeepers, Marco Carnesecchi and Marco Sportiello, and three defenders. Giorgio Scalvini and Caleb Okoli have graduated to the first team, while Andrea Masiello remains because the contract signing with Gianluca Romagnoli has not yet been completed. Is this the right approach? At least at U23 level, the team can conduct player trades, but no player can be directly promoted to the first team. Levak has attracted interest from many clubs but ultimately remained to play in Serie C; Kessie returned after moving to several other clubs.

The current squad list is as follows: Goalkeepers Marco Carnesecchi, Sportiello; Defenders Giorgio Scalvini, Andrea Masiello, Caleb Okoli; Midfielder Kessie; Currently no strikers.
