Marten de Roon leaves Atalanta for AS Roma after ten seasons

12 October 2026

Midfielder Marten de Roon, one of SEG's most loyal and longest-standing clients, recently brought the curtain down on ten seasons with Atalanta Bergamo. The 35-year-old Netherlands international completed a move to AS Roma, where he signed a one-year contract.

At Roma, Marten was reunited with his former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. In the squad, he also joined fellow Dutchmen Donyell Malen and Devyne Rensch, as well as Moroccan international Anass Salah-Eddine. At his arrival, he was handed the number 15 shirt.

Marten moved from sc Heerenveen to Atalanta in 2015. A year later he left for English side Middlesbrough, only to return to Italy twelve months after that. From then on, Marten became a cornerstone for Atalanta. In total, he made 445 appearances, a club record. The highlight of his time at the club was winning the Europa League in 2024, although he missed the final through injury.

Marten earned 44 caps for the Netherlands and represented his country at two World Cups, in 2022 and 2026.
