Atalanta insisted the Brazil international had no long-term knee damage and signed him to a new five-year contract. In other friendly news, Lazio beat local team Flaminia Civita Castellana 6-0. The goals were scored by Matteo Cancellieri, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Ricardo Bordon, Petar Ratkov, Nicolò Rovella and Mattia Zaccagni.
