Atalanta demand £50m+ for Newcastle and Man Utd target ...Middle East

Newcastle wrapped up a £52m move for Anthony Elanga on Friday and are now focusing on bringing in a striker to replace Callum Wilson ahead of the new season.

Although no formal price tag has been put on Scalvini, well-placed sources have told The i Paper it would take £50m plus to get Atalanta around the table. 

But a deal is not viewed as impossible, with the player himself intrigued by the possibility of playing in the Premier League and open to a move to St James’ Park, where Italy teammate Sandro Tonali has flourished since moving from AC Milan.

Atalanta have a successful player trading model that has leant heavily on cashing in on star assets who have graduated from their academy.

The i Paper has been told that Atalanta are keen to open negotiations over a new contract with Scalvini this summer, with the defender’s current deal not due to expire until 2028.

But there is also a feeling at Newcastle that with Scalvini having played only eight times last season, this summer might represent the last window of opportunity to sign him before his value skyrockets.

The need for a defender is acute despite having four senior players in that position.

Sven Botman is an outstanding player but has been plagued by injuries, while Jamaal Lascelles didn’t play a minute last season, although he did return from a cruciate ligament injury in May.
