In June 2014 the co-ownership agreement between Siena and Juventus was renewed again However, after the bankruptcy of Siena in July, Juventus acquired the remain 50% registration rights of Spinazzola from Siena for free.
On 11 August 2014 Spinazzola joined Serie A side Atalanta also in a loan deal.[9] On the 23rd he made his debut for the club, scoring the last of a 2–0 home win against Pisa.
Spinazzola made his debut in the Italian top flight on 31 August, replacing Marcelo Estigarribia in the 82nd minute of a 0–0 home draw against Verona.[10]
After spending two seasons on loan with Atalanta, Spinazzola returned to Juventus in the summer of 2018.[11]
