Newcastle United have faced several setbacks this summer, including the departure of manager Eddie Howe. Amid these challenges, the Magpies' interest in Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini is now gaining momentum. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Newcastle has made initial contact with Scalvini’s agent, Epic Sports Agency, indicating a growing interest in the versatile defender.
Deal Could Be Possible
Atalanta are currently trying to execute major sales this summer due to financial pressures. The club's attempts to sell Ederson to Manchester United have failed, leaving them with no choice but to consider selling other players like Scalvini and even Charles De Ketelaere. Although Atalanta might put up a tough stance, they would be open to offers for the Italian defender. However, their asking price is likely to be significant.
The situation is reminiscent of Inter's struggles in acquiring Marco Palestra earlier this summer, highlighting Atalanta's difficult market position. Despite these challenges, Newcastle United’s interest remains strong, suggesting that a deal could still materialize if both parties can agree on terms.
