Atalanta have every intention of keeping Giorgio Scalvini despite the growing interest in his services, with Manchester United joining the list of clubs keen on the budding defender. Real Madrid are also reportedly interested, but Carlo Ancelotti stated they wouldn’t sign a new center-back despite their injuries.
According to Alfredo Pedullà, La Dea doesn’t want to weaken their squad midseason. However, they’d listen if they received an insane bid. It’s also the case for Teun Koopmeiners.
Manchester United or other sides would have to offer €60M for Atalanta to consider cashing in on Scalvini. The Bergamaschi just signed a quality center-back, Isak Hien, but their goal was to bolster the position since Rafael Toloi, José Luis Palomino, and Sead Kolasinac have dealt with a few injuries. The talent had a scare ahead of the previous game but quickly returned.
The Orobici and the Red Devils concocted the mammoth transfer of Rasmus Hojlund last summer. The Italian side initially wanted to keep the striker for another year. However, the Premier League giants swayed them by offering more than €80M including add-ons.
Our Take on Atalanta, Manchester United, and Scalvini
No player in Italy, especially those who aren’t in super-duper clubs, is ever truly off the market, even more so in a pragmatic team like La Dea, which has a rich history of profitable sales. They have yet to complete a very big one in the winter, though, as there’s more time to replace and re-invest in the summer.
