We reported yesterday that Man Utd is prepared to pay the asking price to recruit Scalvini from Atalanta during the winter transfer window, according to a report from Spain.
French journalist Seb Ecrivain gave an update on the transfer drama on X, revealing that United and the Italian international are very close to signing the player.
According to the correspondent for Les Bons Conceil Du Sports:
“Man Utd is close to paying £44 million to complete the transfer of the gifted Italian defender #Scalvini. At this point in the negotiations, the club is prepared to honour the 20-year-old’s release clause.
Rasmus Hojlund, a Danish centre forward, was acquired by Manchester United from Atalanta last summer at a steep financial cost.
Unfortunately, after playing more than 1000 minutes in the Premier League, the youthful striker has not been able to live up to the promise and has only scored one goal.
Man Utd is currently pushing to sign Scalvini, who has been a rock for La Dea in the backline.
For Erik ten Hag to halt the slide at Old Trafford, he urgently needs defensive third reinforcements.
In the current campaign, United has frequently let goals slip through because of significant injury issues and subpar play at the back. Who, in your opinion, should they entice to solve the puzzle?
Do they need to affix the signature?
