Atalanta took on a somewhat scathing final in the Champions League after defeating Dynamo Kiev by 3-0 in the crucial group game match.

Today it became clear that they will face Valencia in the eighth finals.

The club's chairman Antonio Percassi was in place in Swiss Nyon. But when SVT Sport met him in the mixed zone after the draw, it was not the final play itself.

Parallel to Atalanta's success, the club's lent 19-year-old Dejan Kulusevski has been successful in Parma. This past weekend he became a goal scorer against Napoli in the league game and is now listed for four goals and six assists in the fall.

Percassi earned praise for his gold rush.

- A brilliant player. We are glad that he has shown what he is going for in Parma. I wish he had shown it earlier in Atalanta. A very good player we own, so we are happy, he tells SVT Sport.

Is his future in Atalanta or?

- Now we take it easy, we have to talk to the guy. He will surely be a very good player at the European level, if not at the world level.

Is he interested in him?

- Absolutely.
