Atletico and Manchester City have been interested in the same player. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the 'Colchoneros' interest in Giorgio Scalvini, Atalanta's centre-back, should now be added to that of the Cityzens, who are trying to overtake the Spaniards for the defender.
In June 2022, Atletico asked Atalanta for Giorgio Scalvini. The Italian side turned the defender away from the Metropolitano, but that has not removed him from the Spaniards agenda.
According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Madrid side are still interested in the centre-back. In fact, they could try to sign him next summer.
If, once again, Atletico try to convince Atalanta, the Spanish club will have it complicated. And according to the same source, Man City are also in the race for the Italian.
Giorgio Scalvini will make headlines in the market if the club that owns his services does not do something about it. His contract runs out in 2023, so he is free to negotiate with whomever he wishes from January onwards.
It will be difficult for Atalanta to let him leave in the winter unless there is a big offer, but Atletico and City will wait until June. There will be a fight for this promising 18-year-old centre-back, who could land for free in Madrid or Manchester.
