Lazio has been in negotiations with Hatayspor for the 22-year-old, but the transfer has stalled due to Dele-Bashiru's salary demands. Hatayspor is willing to sell for €7m.
According to TuttoAtalanta, Atalanta has entered the fray, engaging in talks with Hatayspor for the player.
The 22-year-old only arrived at Hatayspor on a free transfer last summer after severing ties with Sheffield Wednesday.
The talented midfielder made his competitive debut for Nigeria in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against South Africa two weeks ago.
