Italian club Atalanta has placed a hefty £51.7 million price tag on their rising star, Giorgio Scalvini, as Manchester United emerges as a potential suitor for the young defender. Reports from SportItalia indicate that Man United’s scouts have been highly impressed with Scalvini, prompting the club’s interest in securing his talents.

Despite his tender age of 20, Scalvini boasts a commendable record with seven appearances for the Italian national team, a testament to his rapid ascension in the football world. His journey commenced at Atalanta, where he made his Serie A debut at a precocious 17 years old and has since accumulated 73 appearances for the club.

Scalvini’s remarkable progress has not gone unnoticed, with Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan also closely monitoring his development, signaling the fierce competition that Man United may face in their pursuit of the promising defender.

This potential transfer gains particular significance for Manchester United due to the anticipated departure of Raphael Varane from Old Trafford at the end of the season and lingering uncertainty over the future of Harry Maguire.

As the saga unfolds, the footballing world eagerly awaits the outcome of this tussle for Giorgio Scalvini, a young talent coveted by some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
