Giorgio Scalvini signs long-term contract extension with Atalanta

Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini has agreed to a new long-term contract with the Serie A club, which is set to keep him at the team until 2031. Despite this renewal, several Premier League clubs are expected to maintain their interest in the Italian international.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have reportedly made contact regarding the 22-year-old centre-back as both clubs look to strengthen their defensive lines. Newcastle United has also been persistent in its pursuit, having made attempts to bring the player to England during the summer transfer window. Other major clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, have also been monitoring his development.

Scalvini is regarded as a highly promising talent, though his recent progress has been impacted by fitness issues, including an ACL injury in 2024 and subsequent shoulder surgery. Atalanta’s decision to secure his services long-term underscores his importance to their future plans.
