Official: Atalanta confirm Pasalic contract extension

The 76-time Croatia international has signed off on a new three-year deal with La Dea, running until the summer of 2028, at which point Pasalic will be 33 years of age.

Pasalic has spent the last seven seasons with Atalanta, initially signing on loan from Chelsea for two consecutive seasons, before making his switch permanent in the summer of 2020 for a reported fee in the region of €15m.

Since then, the former Monaco and Milan midfielder has gone on to become a midfield mainstay under Gian Piero Gasperini, making a minimum of 32 Serie A appearances in each of the last four seasons.

As things stand, Pasalic is two competitive matches away from reaching the 300 mark with Atalanta. He has also chipped in with 59 goals in all competitions over that time.
