Manchester United urged to act swiftly to land Atalanta star Giorgio Scalvini

Atalanta have urged all interested clubs to act quickly if they want to sign their top-class centre-back Giorgio Scalvini. The player has seen himself on Manchester United’s radar as well.

According to a recent report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato via Manchester Evening News, clubs vying for Scalvini’s services, including Manchester United, are advised to move quickly to secure the 20-year-old’s signature this summer.

Scalvini has emerged as one of the brightest defensive talents in Serie A, catching the eye of several top clubs across Europe. Manchester United’s interest in the young Italian is no surprise, especially considering the club’s plans to bolster their defensive ranks in the upcoming transfer window. Currently, United’s defensive lineup comprises Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, and Willy Kambwala.

Scalvini to the Reds?

While these players bring quality to the squad, most have struggled with injuries, making it imperative for United to reinforce this area. Atalanta have surely set a hefty price tag of over €50m for Scalvini, indicating their willingness to part ways with the talented defender for the right price.

At the age of 20, Scalvini combines youthful vigour with promising talent, making him a valuable asset for the long term. His standout displays in Serie A and the UEFA Europa League have certainly caught the eye, and joining a club of United’s calibre could offer him the ideal environment to refine his skills and achieve greater success in his career.

However, the competition for Scalvini’s signature is likely to be fierce, with several top clubs keeping a close eye on the situation. Manchester United will need to act decisively and present a compelling offer to Atalanta to stand a chance of securing the talented centre-back. The early bird catches the worm, and that is the Serie A side’s bid to secure themselves enough time to find a replacement for one of their highly rated prospects.
