Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini is expected to be at the centre of a €50m bidding war next summer, with Juventus, Inter, PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester City involved.

The centre-back is still only 19 years old and already has seven senior caps for Italy, as well as 58 Serie A appearances.

A product of the famed Atalanta youth academy, he is under contract until June 2027, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep him in Bergamo.

There were already temptations last summer with Inter and Paris Saint-Germain put off by the €50m asking price.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus are eager to get the background work done early and put themselves in a leading position once the transfer window comes around in July.

They will again likely face competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich, although City had seen Scalvini as an option before managing to pay €110m for Josko Gvardiol.

Inter had also seen him as their first choice before going to Bayern for Benjamin Pavard at €35m plus bonuses.
