Atalanta is 'not satisfied' with Erik ten Hag's agent as the Serie A side continue talks with Manchester United over Rasmus Hojlund.
According to Independent United, advanced talks with Atalanta over a deal for Hojlund are underway, with the Premier League club negotiating which part of the transfer fee will be the additional.
United are said to be close to agreeing a deal for the 20-year-old, which has allayed initial concerns that the striker's fee could be as high as £80m.
There is hope that a deal can now be agreed for £60m - a fee that will bring the club's summer recruitment from Old Trafford under budget and in line with the Financial Fair Play Act.

Atalanta has also been known for a long time that Hojlund is expected to leave this summer.
Indeed, it is clear that the Denmark international will head to new pastures as the striker changes his agent for the company that currently manages Erik ten Hag.
According to the Italian publication, the new agency, SEG Verified, expressed "a willingness to take its clients elsewhere", which is "unpopular" in Bergamo.
SEG is said to be focused solely on the 'higher income' the Premier League side promises young players, a tactic that Sport Witness says Atalanta is 'not satisfied' with. Advertisement
If United sell in the coming months, it could pave the way for the purchase of Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina in midfield.
According to the Independent, contact was made there and the basis for an agreement was laid.
