Oskarsson was followed with interest by Atalanta during the summer transfer window before eventually joining Real Sociedad.

The young player, born in 2004, is skilled at scoring, and Atalanta had already noted him on their wishlist some time ago. He has already scored 5 goals and made 1 assist in the first seven matches of the 2024/2025 season.

Atalanta was considering signing Orri Steinn Óskarsson, a talented Danish player born in 2004, to develop him as a future star behind the main striker. However, Scamacca's injury altered their plans, leading them to opt for a more immediate solution.

Atalanta is evaluating a return to the market for a replacement after Gianluca Scamacca's injury. Orri Oskarsson is a profile they like, having scored four goals in the first four matches of the season between the league and Conference League playoffs. Before Scamacca's injury, the idea was to attempt to acquire him as an alternative to the former Sassuolo player. Now, the management will decide whether to gather more information or consider a more experienced striker.
