Atalanta keeper Sportiello extends contract until 2020

Sportiello had been recently linked with AS Roma, who are seeking a replacement for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, currently on loan from English Premier League club Arsenal.





Sportiello’s previous contract was due to expire in June 2019.

The Atalanta youth product entered the club's first team in the 2013/2014 season.

Ninth-placed Atalanta play Udinese in their next Serie A game on Jan. 6.
