Manchester United is keenly interested in a rising Serie A talent but is encountering stiff competition.

Manchester United are strongly interested in signing Atalanta star Giorgio Scalvini with Erik ten Hag looking to make additions to his squad.

The 20-year-old Italian central defender has garnered attention from various top clubs across Europe, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and several Italian teams. Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, is particularly interested in Scalvini as he seeks to strengthen his team’s defense. Scalvini is currently under contract with Atalanta until 2027, providing the Italian club with strong negotiating leverage against potential suitors.

According to Italian journalist Niccolo Ceccarini, Manchester United is expressing significant interest in signing Scalvini. Ceccarini revealed in his column for TuttoMercatoWeb that Italian clubs Juventus, Inter Milan, and Napoli are also closely monitoring the promising young defender. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his Youtube channel, highlighted Scalvini as one of Italy’s most talented center-backs, consistently performing well for Atalanta. Romano mentioned that scouts from major European clubs, including two English teams, have attended Atalanta matches in the past few weeks to closely observe Scalvini’s performances.

“At the moment, I cannot reveal the names of the specific clubs, but I will share updates shortly.”. Giorgio Scalvini has generated considerable interest, being recognized as one of Italy’s most talented players. He’s been performing exceptionally well for Atalanta, and it’s worth keeping a close watch, especially as Premier League clubs are actively pursuing him.” As Manchester United aims to revamp their season, there’s a possibility they might make a move in the upcoming January transfer window.
