Marten de Roon transfer from Atalanta to AS Roma

Overview

Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon completed a permanent transfer from Atalanta to AS Roma, ending a decade-long tenure with the Bergamo club. The move allowed De Roon to reunite with former coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Upon his departure, De Roon expressed gratitude to the Bergamo community, stating, “Bergamo will always be my home.”

The transfer sparked significant controversy in Bergamo. An entrepreneur, Fabio Acquaroli, filmed himself burning a De Roon jersey on a barbecue to protest the move. The jersey had been acquired for 2,000 euros during a charity auction for the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital pediatric ward. The incident has highlighted a divide among the fanbase regarding whether the transfer was a professional choice or a betrayal of the club.
