‘Here We Go?’ – Fabrizio Romano Drops Intriguing Update on Newcastle United’s Pursuit of Giorgio Scalvini
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. Fabrizio Romano reports that while other Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation, Newcastle have stolen a march and are the only club currently in negotiations. 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.
