Scamacca to extend Atalanta contract to June 2028 despite Roma report | OneFootball

Despite some suggestions of a possible return to Roma, it is now reported Atalanta have extended Gianluca Scamacca’s contract to 2028.

His current deal had been due to expire in June 2027, meaning this summer was the last chance to sell before the risk of losing him as a free agent.

This had prompted some reports that he could be snapped up by Roma, his hometown club and where his career began in earnest at their youth academy.

Atalanta determined to keep Scamacca

However, Tuttomercatoweb claim that Atalanta have an option to extend unilaterally and have already activated it, so the contract now runs to June 2028.

Despite numerous injury problems stemming from last year’s anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his knee, he still contributed 14 goals and three assists in 38 competitive games this season.

He was purchased from West Ham United for €28m plus add-ons in 2023 and Scamacca looks ready to remain with Atalanta for a while longer.

Maurizio Sarri is set to take over as the new coach from Raffaele Palladino, and appreciates someone of his characteristics.
