He eventually began to play in the full Primavera side in 2016, and established himself as a mainstay in the centre of midfield. After being named on the Atalanta first-team bench for several games, Melegoni was placed in the starting line-up for the match against Sampdoria on 22 January 2017. He played the first half before being replaced at the interval, in an eventual 1–0 win. [3]
