Atalanta fires back at Roma over Percassi incident, willing to submit to sporting authorities

Source: Roma News

The row between Roma and Atalanta has escalated following an exchange of official statements over a verbal altercation involving Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi and Roma sporting director Tony D'Amico at the Olimpico after Atalanta's 2–1 victory, with two goals scored in injury time.

The club said: "Atalanta firmly rejects the evaluations expressed by AS Roma towards its chief executive. The club, believing it appropriate not to further fuel the matter through public statements, declares itself absolutely available immediately to submit to any necessary discussion with the sporting justice authorities, in order to verify the circumstances cited."
