Sportiello set for Roma

By Football Italia staff

Marco Sportiello of Atalanta is reportedly the goalkeeper Roma have lined up for next season.

Wojciech Szczesny has said many times he wants a return to Arsenal after the season-long loan.

This week Roma director Walter Sabatini also confirmed they are “covered” for next term, but wouldn’t name names.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, the goalkeeper they have lined up is Atalanta’s Sportiello.

An Italy Under-21 international, Sportiello is a Serie A regular and particularly strong on penalties.

He is now 23 and grew up in the Atalanta youth academy, having loan spells at Poggibonsi and Carpi.
