Atlético de Madrid has once again set sights on Giorgio Scalvini as reinforcement for the winter transfer market.

The center-back from Atalanta, one of the most promising talents in Italian football, has become a priority for the Rojiblancos, who seek to strengthen a defense marked by inconsistency in the beginning of the season.

Giorgio Scalvini, young talent from Atalanta

At just 21 years old, Giorgio Scalvini has established himself as a key piece in Bergamo's defense. In this start of the Serie A, he has played 3 games and already scored a goal, demonstrating not only his defensive ability but also his contribution in offensive set-pieces.

The player is under contract until 2028 and has an estimated market value of 35 million euros, although there was already an offer of 40 million from Newcastle United, rejected by Atalanta. This detail shows the Italian club's firm intention to keep their center-back, although his increasing value in Europe could complicate that continuity.

Defensive need for Atlético de Madrid

Diego Simeone's team is looking for solutions to reinforce their backline. José María Giménez is still in his physical recovery process, while Robin Le Normand and Clément Lenglet have shown some inconsistency in their performances.

The recent signing of Dávid Hancko has been considered a success, as the Slovakian brings versatility by being able to play on the left flank as well. However, the board believes that there is still a need for a defensive leader capable of making a quality leap in high-level competitions.

A key signing for Simeone

The interest in Giorgio Scalvini is not new. Atlético had already closely followed the young Italian in previous seasons, but now the need is more apparent. His height, strength in aerial duels, and anticipation skills fit the playing style demanded by Simeone.

"Scalvini has the authority of a veteran despite his age; he is a modern defender who knows how to play out from the back," highlighted Nicolò Schira, an Italian journalist specialized in transfer market. His words reflect why the center-back is on the radar of big European clubs.

Competition in the winter market

Newcastle United is not the only rival in this race. Other clubs from the Premier League have shown interest in the defender, which will force Atlético to act decisively if they want to secure the Italian international. Atalanta, on the other hand, will continue negotiating firmly, aware of the potential of their star player.

Atlético de Madrid knows that signing Giorgio Scalvini in the winter transfer market will not be easy or cheap, but his arrival could become a strategic investment to strengthen the defense in the medium and long term. In a context where the team seeks stability in the backline, the Italian emerges as one of the most serious bets to consolidate Simeone's project.
