What happened. Roma signed Marten De Roon from Atalanta, a quick deal facilitated by Atalanta letting him go after many years.
- De Roon was no longer part of Atalanta's plans.
- The move is economically advantageous, allowing reinvestment.
- Roma also signed Balerdi and freed El Aynaoui.
“After so many years at Atalanta, he was no longer part of their plans.”
— Gian Piero Gasperini
Roma still want two more additions before the transfer window closes on September 1.
