De Roon signs one-year contract with Roma after leaving Atalanta

De Roon finalized a transfer to Roma on August 30, joining the club on a one-year deal. The Dutch midfielder will earn a net salary of €2 million under the terms of the agreement. This move coincides with Roma loaning El Aynaoui to Leipzig for a €4 million fee, which includes an option to purchase the player for €25 million. Gasperini stated that the departure of the 1991-born player provides the club with tactical flexibility to address other roster requirements while maintaining midfield stability. The signing of De Roon aligns with the internal financial parameters established by Roma. The transition occurred rapidly, with the deal reaching completion within 48 hours of the initial opportunity arising over the weekend.
