Manchester United make contact to sign £34m defender Manchester City spoke to before signing Josko Gvardiol
Manchester United have made contact to sign Giorgio Scalvini from Atalanta – a player Manchester City reportedly spoke to in 2023.
That is according to Calciomercato.
So, what is the situation involving Giorgio Scalvini and Manchester United? Let’s take a look…
Manchester United make contact to sign Scalvini
𒁃Well – according to – Manchester United have enquired about the Italy international.
🎃Atalanta are demanding €40m (£34m) to sell Scalvini – who is also attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund – and would consider selling for that fee given the defender’s status as an academy product.
💧Atalanta would make 100% profit on any sale as a result of developing the 20-year-old themselves.
ꦏCalciomercato add that Napoli and Inter Milan have also taken a look at Scalvini in recent years, although it is Manchester United who are currently in dialogue with Atalanta over a deal.

Tottenham have also made attempts꧙ to sign the centre-back in the past, according to Fabrizio Romano.
🎀The Atalanta No.42 has made appearances in all competitions so far this season, scoring one goal while also providing two assists.
Manchester City spoke to Scalvini before Gvardiol
♛Back in August, Manchester United’s bitter rivals Manchester City signed Croatia international Josko Gvardiol in a deal.
ꦦHowever – according to – the Citizens approached Scalvini first, which suggests Pep Guardiola was more interested in the Italian than the Croatian.

ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚUltimately, Atalanta opted against selling the 20-year-old and Manchester City looked elsewhere.
💛Now – however – Scalvini could end up playing his football in Manchester, just at Old Trafford rather than the Etihad Stadium.
✱Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen this summer.
