De Roon left Bergamo for Middlesbrough last summer but after their relegation to the English Championship, the midfielder has returned to Italy.
The deal was confirmed on Friday with Atalanta paying €13.5 million for the 26-year-old but that fee could rise to €15 million. A nice profit for Middlesbrough, who only paid €10.5 million last summer.
The Netherlands international scored five goals in 36 league and cup games during his spell at Boro.
