Atalanta has decided to consolidate the presence of Gianluca Scamacca, extending his contract until 2030. The Bergamo club thus intends to extend the current deadline by two years, which risks devaluing the player on the market. The Dea management has already started negotiations with the attacker, trying to reach a quick agreement to ensure the continuity of his career in the team.
Scamacca has become a key element for Atalanta in recent seasons. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini considers him one of the team's starters, and his presence in attack is fundamental to maintaining the club's typical offensive rhythm. The contract extension not only protects the club from a possible loss of value, but also ensures the player long-term stability, allowing him to focus on his performance on the pitch.
The summer market also saw Roma's interest in the player. Before signing Castro's transfer from Bologna, Roma had attempted to convince Scamacca to return to the capital, where he grew up. However, Giuntoli, the Dea administrator, rejected the idea, keeping the player in Bergamo and underlining that the club is ready to invest in him. He also highlighted that the competition with Krstovic only serves to push Scamacca to improve further.
With the extension of the contract, Atalanta will be able to continue to exploit Scamacca's quality without fearing that his contractual position will make him a "hat" for other teams. The renewal proposal was welcomed positively by the player, who expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him by the management and the coach. The agreement, if finalized, will allow the club to plan the composition of the team also for European competitions, keeping a high-level striker in the squad.
The next step will be the signing of the new contract, which should take place by the end of the negotiation period. Once concluded, Scamacca will be able to concentrate on the next matches in Serie A and European competitions, while Atalanta will be able to continue building their offensive strategy around him.
