Atalanta chief Pierpaolo Marino admits AS Roma are in contact for goalkeeper Marco Sportiello and fullback Davide Zappacosta.

The two teams drew 1-1 yesterday.

"Roma follow them with interest," admitted Marino to Corriere dello Sport. "They are two young players that we developed.

"To make way for Sportiello we gave away a solid goalkeeper like [Andrea] Consigli. We knew we were doing the right thing."
