Official: De Roon joins Roma from Atalanta with squad number confirmed
Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon has formally signed for Roma, ending his long tenure at Atalanta. The move is confirmed as official, with the club unveiling his shirt number as part of the announcement. De Roon brings extensive Serie A experience and leadership to Roma's midfield. Atalanta, meanwhile, lose a long-serving and influential presence in the middle of the park.
