Roma acquires 2 captains with De Roon joing from Atalanta and Balerdi from Marseille
What happened
The 35-year-old De Roon evolved into Atalanta’s captain after a total of a decade spent at the Bergamo squad in two spells. Gasperini said the deal was done in two days after De Roon — who has also been a regular for the Netherlands — fell out of favor under current Atalanta coach Maurizio Sarri.
