The injuries sustained by David Alaba and Eder Militao have brought to light the fact that Real Madrid does not have sufficient depth in the defense of the center back position.
The only two central defenders that Carlo Ancelotti has available to him at the moment are Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez. Aurelien Tchouameni has been forced to come in for Rudiger and Fernandez when the situation calls for it.
Ancelotti was quick to put a stop to the rumors that circulated about a probable transfer for a new defender in January. As a result, the rumors began to circulate.
Even in this case, Real Madrid is still being associated with young and talented center backs who have the potential to make a difference both in the short term and in the long term.
The Real Madrid club is considering acquiring Scalvini.
Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini is an example of a player that fits this description. Even though he is just twenty years old, the young center defender has already established himself as a stalwart for the Serie A team. He has even had the opportunity to play for Italy on the international stage.
A multitude of elite teams around Europe, including Real Madrid, have shown interest in Scalvini due to the fact that he is held in very high esteem.
The Italian was one of the four center backs that Los Blancos were considering signing before the winter season began, as was reported not too long ago. Furthermore, despite the fact that the club may not immediately sign someone, this does not indicate that they have lost interest in Scalvini.
At a price of sixty million euros, Scalvini
In spite of this, Atalanta has reportedly set the starting price for Scalvini at sixty million euros, as reported by AS. This is because Atalanta has become aware of the interest that Scalvini is generating.
The Serie A club has the upper hand in any future discussions with his suitors since the contract that the 20-year-old player has with them is only good until 2028.
In addition, the source indicates that Manchester United, a heavyweight in the Premier League, has shown interest in the young Italian player, in addition to Real Madrid.
It would seem that the Red Devils are also interested in Scalvini, since they have previously pursued Atalanta in the summer for Rasmus Hojlund.
It is still unknown which of these teams will decide to pursue their interest in the young defender and make a formal offer to acquire his services, and this will be the case either this month or in the summer.
