UEFA Champions League
Atlético de Madrid is already thinking about reinforcing their defense for the upcoming season and has set its sights on a young center-back who is making waves in Italy. This is Giorgio Scalvini, a player for Atalanta, who at just 21 years old has caught the attention of several European clubs.
The red and white team has reportedly made an offer of 40 million euros for the Italian defender, a significant amount that shows how serious the Madrid club is about his signing. Scalvini stands out for his aerial play, composure on the ball, and ability to defend with intelligence. Despite his young age, he plays with great maturity, which has convinced the Atlético coaching staff.
Coach Diego Simeone is looking to rejuvenate his defense, and sees Scalvini as a player with a lot of potential to grow within the team. Lately, Atlético has faced issues in the backline, and adding a young, strong central defender with good ball distribution would be a positive development for the club.
Atalanta asks for more money for their 21-year-old young center-back.
For now, Atalanta has not officially responded to the offer, but it's known that getting him away from there won't be easy, as he is one of their key players. Nonetheless, Atlético is confident that the proposal may persuade the Italian club or, at least, open the door to negotiations.
Scalvini fits the profile of the type of player Atlético has been looking for lately: young, promising, and eager to improve. The deal is not yet finalized, but the red and whites have taken the initial step and hope that the Italian defender will soon wear the Madrid team's shirt.
