Roma are having a busy end to the summer transfer window, with De Roon on his way to the Giallorossi from Atalanta to reunite with Gasperini. The Italian coach attributes the swift transfer to De Roon's situation at Atalanta, where he was no longer part of their plans. Gasperini also sees the transfer as an opportunity to free up space for another signing, allowing Roma to reinvest in another position. The club has already brought in Leonardo Balerdi on loan with an option to buy from Marseille, and Gasperini still wants another two additions before the close of the summer transfer window on September 1.
