Atalanta, Toloi deal reached for contract renewal

One of Atalanta's defensive linchpins Raael Toloi will be extending his contract with the club to stay in Bergamo. The Brazilian defender met with the club president Percassi, and they were able to find an agreement to extend the contract that had been expiring in 2018 until 2020, with an option for 2021. There was some pressure on Atalanta to sign the deal, since several German clubs and Galatasaray were interested in Toloi. Instead, Toloi will stay with Atalanta and continue to patrol the defense.
