Giorgio Scalvini has already been a three-time Italy international and is set in defense at Atalanta Bergamo. That’s why you can call the 19-year-old one of the greatest European defensive talents. In Italy, Borussia Dortmund is now mentioned as one of numerous interested parties.
As ‘Calciomercato.com’ reports, a duel between Juventus Turin and Inter Milan in poker for Scalvini’s favor is looming. The portal lists Liverpool FC, Atlético Madrid and BVB as other candidates for a transfer. If the Dortmunders seriously try to Scalvini, you would have to prevail against well-known competition.
This in turn plays Atalanta enormously into the cards. The 1.94 meter tall defensive giant is said to be under contract in Bergamo until 2024. Accordingly, the Serie A club wants to use the great interest in their home-grown talent to collect the highest possible transfer fee. Around 40 million euros should be the basis for negotiations. A sum that would make the top talent a record transfer from BVB. It is questionable whether Dortmund would dig so deep into their pockets.
