Real Madrid might soon look to sign Italian international Giorgio Scalvini, whose price tag is €45 million, from Atalanta.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Giorgio Scalvini is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are scouring the market for a centre-back heading into the 2024 summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Atalanta will demand €45 million to part ways with the Italian international.
Giorgio Scalvini has established himself as one of the best young centre-backs in the world. The 19-year-old is only just beginning his professional career but has made a tremendous impact for Atalanta. In addition, the teenage sensation has made his debut for his national side, turning out six times thus far.
The Italian international has featured in every game thus far this season for Atalanta while turning out 59 times, including his debut. Meanwhile, Scalvini’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Recent reports have linked him with Liverpool and Manchester United. And the youngster is now a target for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will likely embark on an aggressive spending spree in the 2024 summer transfer window. They were reserved this past summer and did not spend extravagant amounts on players except Jude Bellingham. And Los Blancos will wait until next year to forge a formidable squad.
The Merengues are thus scouring the market for a centre-back, which seems sensible, considering David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger are on the wrong side of 30. Several centre-backs have thus emerged on Real Madrid’s radar. And Scalvini is also a viable target for the Spanish club.
The 19-year-old can provide his best years to Real Madrid after learning the ropes from Alaba and Rudiger. Meanwhile, the Italian international does not carry a hefty price tag. Atalanta will demand around €45 million to part ways with Scalvini, a fair sum for one of the best young prospects in the world.
