One thing is certain: Atalanta knows how to make and sell a defender at a high price. From her school alone, she made several defenders from whom she earned a fortune. Mattia Caldara was sold to Juventus for 20,000,000 euros, and Alessandro Bastoni to Inter for 31,000,000. Gianluca Mancini was bought anonymously for 2,000,000 euros and sold to Roma for 23,000,000. Christian Romero was brought from Juventus for 19,000,000 euros and sold to Tottenham for 50,000,000.🚨🇮🇹| Transfer Rumours:Manchester United are closing in on the acquisition of Atalanta centre-back Giorgio Scalvini in a £44 million deal. #MUFC [ French outlet Les Bons Conceil Du Sports, Seb Ecrivain Foot] pic.twitter.com/zOWgZFDYdW— UtdActive (@UtdActive) January 1, 2024 However, now the Bergamo club have a stopper who could bring the biggest profit in the club’s history. Young Giorgio Scalvini is on the radar of a bunch of big clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern, Tottenham… He is also liked by the biggest Italian clubs, Juventus, Milan and Inter, but he is out of their financial reach because Atalanta set the price – 60,000,000 euros! Given that he came from the youth academy and that the club didn’t pay a dime for him, he could be the best earner in the club’s history. The current transfer record is Rasmus Hojlund, who was sold to Manchester United this summer for 74,000,000 euros and bonuses, but his purchase cost 20,000,000 euros.##EDITORS_CHOICE##And just like in the case of Hojlund, Atalanta will not be an easy negotiator. Thanks to the great transfer windows of previous years, Atalanta’s finances are looking great, and the club has the luxury of being a tough negotiator and not giving concessions to anyone. With central defenders being in demand these days and Scalvini being regarded as one of the most talented in the world, it seems that Atalanta has all but secured another great deal.##NAJAVA_MECA_7775490##Scalvini turned 20 years old last month, but even as an 18-year-old, he became irreplaceable in the last line of the blue-blacks. In the meantime, he became the commander of the defence and the Italian national team, and the contract for Atalanta binds him until 2028. His price can only go up, and Atalanta knows they are in a great negotiating position. We will see how realistic it is for the transfer to take place in January already, but in the summer, the club from Bergamo will have a hard time deciding who to sell Scalvini to.
