Middlesbrough are closing on a deal for Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon.
The Dutchman is set to join Boro for €12m, says Gazzamercato.
The 25-year-old made 36 appearances in Serie A last season, scoring once and providing three assists.
De Roon is set to receive a four-year contract which would almost double the wage he received from the Orobici.
He has also been linked with Napoli and AC Milan.
