Manchester United have entered the race for Giorgio Scalvini
The transfer market always stirs emotions at Old Trafford. Manchester United fans know that the club cannot afford any more missteps. After several inconsistent seasons, the new era with Ruben Amorim brings excitement but also doubts. Amorim arrives with fresh ideas, a defined style of play, and an obsession with regaining the competitiveness that the Red Devils’ fans have been missing so much. Amid rumours, leaks and figures, one name is beginning to emerge more strongly, and that is Giorgio Scalvini. At just 21 years of age, this Atalanta centre-back has caught the eye across Europe. His possible departure promises to shake up the Premier League.
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United are among the clubs seriously considering signing Scalvini this summer. The same media outlet claims that Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham are also closely monitoring any movement related to the Italian. The price tag is around €60 million, a figure that reflects the player’s potential and Atalanta’s conviction that they will not let him go lightly. Although there are no advanced negotiations yet, everything points to the agents and the Lombardy club soon opening the door to talks. Amorim knows he needs to strengthen his defence if he wants to raise the competitive level immediately. We even reported two years ago that United were interested in him. We also reported that the Red Devils are ready to offer a new contract to Harry Maguire.
Manchester United want Giorgio Scalvini
Scalvini offers United something that is in short supply, that are solidity and composure despite his age. The Italian’s profile fits in with the three-centre-back formation that Amorim likes so much, with the freedom to carry the ball out of defence and cover the space behind the full-backs. Scalvini is known for his reading of the game, his ability to anticipate attacks and his composure in high-pressure situations.

He is the type of centre-back who does not falter when the opposition pushes forward. In addition, his height and physical presence would provide security in aerial duels, an area where United have struggled. We imagine Amorim would position him as a right or left centre-back, depending on tactical needs, but always as a key player in providing a clean outlet and quick recovery after losing possession.
Will United be able to pull off the deal? The money is there, but competition from English clubs and Serie A giants will make it far from easy. If the Red Devils want to convince him, they will have to show him a clear project and a competitive starting eleven. Scalvini will not come just for the salary; he will come for the certainty of growing and fighting for titles. With the current squad and Amorim at the helm, this signing could be a valuable step, provided that the board supports the manager and does not let slip an opportunity that could cement Old Trafford’s defence for the next decade.
