BREAKING: Atalanta Demand £51m From Manchester United To Sign Giorgio Scalvini—Manchester United are seemingly determined to strengthen their defence in January but to land Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini would cost them in excess of £50 million, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho will join Borussia Dortmund on loan after a £2.6m fee was agreed, United are said to be monitoring Girona full-back Miguel Gutierrez, and Mary Earps could join Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United will have to pay £51m to sign Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, according to reports.
The Red Devils have suffered a number of injuries in their defence, most notably to Lisandro Martinez, who has been missing since September.
United are said to have identified Scalvini as a target – but would have to cough up a significant amount of money to land the 20-year-old, who has been capped seven times by Italy.
A report in The Sun states: “Manchester United will have to contend with a “mammoth” price tag if they are to convince Giorgio Scalvini to join them, according to reports.
“Calcio Mercato report that it will take £51million for United to sign the Italian youngster this January.
“Atalanta are in a strong position to hold on to the defender, with him being contracted at the club until 2028.
“The right offer could tempt Atalanta, however, and they have already done business with United this season.
“United are keen to bolster their defence in January, with Raphael Varane linked with a move to the Saudi League.
“Both Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are keen on signing the World Cup winning defender.”
