Giorgio Scalvini, born on the 11th of December 2003 in Italy, now aged 20, is a formidable force at the heart of the defence for the Serie A side, Atalanta. With his towering height of 6ft 4in (1.94m) and weight of 11st 13lb (76kg), Scalvini primarily operates as a central defender and dons the number 42 jersey for his club. In addition to his club commitments, he also flies the flag for Italy at the international level, representing the U21 squad.
Given his impressive performances, Scalvini's current market value revolves around the hefty sum of £38 million according to Transfermarkt. His professional agreement with Atalanta, with roughly 3 years and 9 months remaining, is scheduled to run its course on the 30th of June 2028.
Scalvini's professional journey kicked off during the 2021-2022 season when he made 18 first team appearances for Atalanta and even managed to find the back of the net once. His presence gradually escalated within the squad in the following 2022-2023 season, appearing 32 times in the first team and increasing his goal tally to two. The next term (2023-2024) saw him notch up one goal from his 33 first team appearances. However, Scalvini has yet to break into the first team during the current 2024-2025 season.
His list of accolades extends beyond the domestic borders as well. Scalvini made a notable impact in the UEFA U21 Qualifiers 2023 for the Italy U21 team with three starts. He also made his mark in the Europa League during the 2023-2024 season with Atalanta, contributing one goal from his four starts and subsequent four substitute appearances.
