Liverpool are interested in Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini and view him as a long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk. Sports Boom states that Liverpool want to sign Scalvini after being unsuccessful in signing Marc Guehi, with Manchester City being the club that signed him. The report adds that the Italian central defender's purported value is £45million (€52m, $61.6m) and that Newcastle is also interested in him.

Atalanta's defender Giorgio Scalvini has become a target for Premier League champions Liverpool. The 21-year-old center-back has also drawn interest from several other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United. Reports indicate that Newcastle has already begun preliminary groundwork for a potential deal and is ready to offer approximately £50 million to secure Scalvini's transfer. The Italian defender is reportedly flattered by the attention and open to a move to the Premier League, which he believes could speed up his development and help him reach his full potential. However, Atalanta is expected to make it difficult for him to leave, as they are firm on their asking price. In the meantime, Liverpool is keeping a close watch on the situation, considering Scalvini as a possible addition to strengthen their defensive ranks.
