Newcastle United has reportedly made an inquiry to the agents representing Atalanta and Italy's 22-year-old defender, Giorgio Scalvini. According to Sky Sport Italia expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Magpies have initiated contact with the player's representatives, though not yet with his current club.
Scalvini is under contract with Atalanta for another two years, with his deal set to expire in the summer of 2028. He recently switched agents, joining Ali Barat of "Epic Sports" after previously being represented by Tullio Tinti of "TMP Soccer."
Recent reports suggest that Atalanta values Scalvini at approximately 40 million euros. Newcastle had previously shown interest in the Italian center-back last summer as well.
At just 22 years old, Scalvini has already amassed 137 professional appearances, including 113 in Serie A. He broke into the Atalanta first team at 17 and made his senior debut for the Italian national team at 19.
Considered one of Italy's most promising young central defenders, Scalvini's progress suffered a significant setback when he tore his cruciate ligament on the final day of the 2023-24 Serie A season. Due to this and subsequent injuries, Scalvini was limited to just six Serie A appearances in the 2024-25 season and 24 in the 2025-26 season.
