Newcastle United are interested in signing the Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini this summer.
According to a report from Corriere della Sera via SportWitness, the 21-year-old defender will cost around €40-50 million this summer. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle are willing to pay up for him.
Newcastle could use Giorgio Scalvini
He is a talented young defender with a bright future, and Newcastle need defensive reinforcements. They looked quite vulnerable at the back last season. However, the asking price is quite high, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can work out an agreement.
The 21-year-old could be a quality long-term partner for Sven Botman at Newcastle. The opportunity to join a Premier League club will be quite exciting for the player. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he would get to test himself alongside world-class players.
Newcastle have an exciting project and a talented squad. They have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they will look to fight for trophies. Scalvini will be tempted to join them. Convincing the defender will not be difficult, but Newcastle need to decide whether they are ready to break the bank for him.
