Newcastle United are pushing hard to sign Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini as they look to strengthen their defence this summer. With deals for Anthony Elanga and James Trafford progressing well, attention has turned to the Italian centre-back, who remains one of Eddie Howe’s top priorities. Despite Atalanta initially deeming him “unsellable,” Newcastle have opened talks and are prepared to make a serious financial effort.

Scalvini’s long-standing desire to play in the Premier League could give the Magpies a crucial edge in securing a deal worth around £40 million.

Surprisingly, even Newcastle fans admit that, while they never wanted him at St James’ Park, Calvert-Lewin could be a smart addition for their rivals, offering much-needed Premier League experience to a thin Sunderland squad.
