Marten de Roon is thinking about his future at Atalanta. The thirty-year-old midfielder is fortunately with the current number four of the Serie A, but at the same time thinks that it is a step higher. “It is possible that I will take the next step to a historic club like Internazionale or Juventus”, De Roon said in conversation with the Italian YouTube channel. Cronache di Spogliatoio.

However, it is more likely that De Roon will stay with Atalanta. “It is difficult, very difficult. On the one hand I would like to win titles, perhaps the Scudetto, but on the other hand, I am very happy with my family in Bergamo. We are happy here. Atalanta is a reliable club. I would like to end my career at Atalanta, but in football you never know. As things are now, that is the idea. ” De Roon has a contract until mid-2024.

The midfielder is also asked about the joke he pulled out earlier this season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. De Roon, who is known in Italy for his jokes and gags on social media, posted a video of the match between AC Milan and Atalanta. “‘I have scored more goals in my career than you have played in matches,” an irritated Ibrahimovic snapped at Duván Zapata in that match. De Roon posted a video with images of it, with the three goals that Atalanta scored in the match won 0-3.

De Roon can still laugh about it. “I still get messages from AC Milan fans about that joke with Ibrahimovic every day, but I would do it again”, said the former sc Heerenveen midfielder. “I don’t know what will happen when I meet him on the field again. Maybe he hits me, I probably deserved that. I’ll accept that,” he laughs.
