Newcastle ‘know’ Atalanta asking price for Scalvini, says transfer expert | OneFootball

Matteo Moretto confirms that Atalanta are unwilling to sell Giorgio Scalvini as Newcastle ‘know’ La Dea’s asking price exceeds €50m.

Atalanta are yet to receive an offer for Italian defender Scalvini, but are unwilling to sell the 21-year-old this summer, as Football Italia already reported on Wednesday.

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto confirms Newcastle are aware of Atalanta’s firm stance on the player and know that they’ll need an above-market offer to persuade La Dea to sell their defender.

“Newcastle know that, for Atalanta, Scalvini is an important player who is valued more than €50m,” Moretto said.

Scalvini had an unfortunate 2024-25 campaign as he returned from a cruciate ligament injury in January, but was soon forced out of action again, because of a shoulder injury which required surgery.

Scalvini has a long-term Atalanta contract

A product of the Atalanta academy, the 21-year-old defender has already made 89 Serie A appearances, scoring four goals.

Scalvini has already made his senior Italy debut, making eight appearances with the Azzurri.

His contract with Atalanta expires in June 2028.
