According to information from the social media channels of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan made a late attempt for Giorgio Scalvini on the final day of the transfer window because the club numerically needed another defender. Milan made an inquiry to check the possibility of signing the player but received a negative response. Atalanta's asking price to start negotiations for a potential transfer was reportedly a base of 40 million.
Scalvini is a 22-year-old Italian international who has 8 caps for Italy, a contract with Atalanta until 2028, and a current market value of €38.00m according to Transfermarkt. Several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea, have also been linked with the centre-back.
