Atalanta have reportedly placed a £50 million-plus price tag on centre-back Giorgio Scalvini amid growing interest from Newcastle United and Manchester United.
The 21-year-old Italy international is on the radar of several Premier League clubs, with Newcastle reportedly laying early groundwork for a potential summer move.
According to The i Paper, Atalanta are in no rush to sell but could consider serious offers, as they continue to profit from their academy-developed stars.
Scalvini, under contract until 2028, is also admired by Tottenham and top Serie A sides.
Newcastle, despite a limited budget, see Scalvini as a key defensive target following their £52m signing of Anthony Elanga.
The player is believed to be open to a Premier League switch, with international teammate Sandro Tonali endorsing Eddie Howe’s project at St James’ Park.
