The Premier League<\/a> champions are looking to bolster their strikeforce as Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/a> looks set to move to Napoli<\/a>, with Mateta reportedly available for around \u00a350m. AC Milan<\/a> are also interested in signing the Frenchman, who has 30 goals in 72 league games in past two seasons, though Liverpool have also been linked with Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a> striker Hugo Ekitike<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Manchester United are contemplating a move to sign Italy<\/a> and Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, according to The Sun<\/a>. Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> and a number of clubs from Serie A<\/a> are also keen on the 21-year-old whose transfer is valued at around \u20ac55 million. Scalvini has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in Serie A after having made 107 senior appearances for Atalanta. Ruben Amorim is looking to bolster his defense but could face a stumbling block, with Newcastle hoping Sandro Tonali<\/a>, Scalvini’s international teammate, could hand them an advantage in the race for his signature.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> has rejected a lucrative move to join Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> at Al Nassr<\/a>, according to The Telegraph<\/a>. Garnacho, 21, is set to leave Old Trafford after falling out with Amorim but is keen to stay in Europe and is prioritizing a transfer to a Premier League<\/a> club. Man United are looking to trim their squad before they can make further additions, but Chelsea<\/a> are the only club from England<\/a> to express an interest, and they have already signed Jamie Gittens<\/a>. Napoli<\/a> have also been linked.<\/p>\n – West Ham United<\/a> are looking to reinvest some of the \u00a355m made from the exit of Mohammed Kudus<\/a> to Spurs with a move for Liverpool<\/a> midfielder Harvey Elliott<\/a>. The Guardian<\/a> says that the Hammers believe they can tempt the England under-21 star to London with the promise of more game time but have yet to submit a formal bid and could face competition from RB Leipzig<\/a>. Hammers boss Graham Potter is looking to freshen his squad and believes Elliott, who can play anywhere across the midfield, is an ideal reinforcement, while the club is also closing on a deal for Slavia Prague left back El Hadji Malick Diouf<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Juventus<\/a> striker Dusan Vlahovic<\/a> is set to snub a move to the Premier League<\/a> in favor of joining AC Milan<\/a>, says The Sun<\/a>. Vlahovic, 25, has scored 58 goals in 145 games for Juve but has fallen out of favor recently. The Serbia<\/a> international signed from Fiorentina<\/a> for \u20ac70m in 2022 but is reportedly set to leave for as little as \u20ac20m, and though United, Chelsea<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> have been linked with him, he would prefer to join Milan.<\/p>\n CONFIRMED TRANSFERS<\/p>\n – FC Copenhagen winger Roony Bardghji has joined Barcelona on a four-year contract for a fee of around \u20ac2m. Read<\/a><\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE<\/p>\n ESPN’s resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen explores why Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini is being watched by a host of clubs.<\/p>\n Introduced to Atalanta’s senior setup at just 18, Scalvini wasted no time in announcing himself as one of Serie A’s top defensive prospects. At 6-foot-4, the center back made the leap to top-flight football with remarkable composure and an impressive attitude, unfazed by quality opposition, immediately assuming responsibility and leadership.<\/p>\n A right-footed defender, Scalvini has adapted particularly well to Gian Piero Gasperini’s tactically demanding back-three formation. The setup requires the center backs to maintain a high line and frequently engage in one-on-one situations in advanced zones — requiring fast decision-making, strong dueling skills and recovery pace.<\/p>\n Scalvini may appear somewhat on the slow side, but his intelligent positioning, alert anticipation (5.38 interceptions, 2.1 pressing recoveries per 90 minutes in 2023-24) set him apart when on the front foot. And when defending deeper, Scalvini frequently makes good use of his imposing frame to outmuscle opponents or simply obstruct their movement.<\/p>\n He’s comfortable joining the attack, too, either by making attacking runs to create overloads or dispatching line-breaking passes through the middle (8.6 progressive passes per 90).<\/p>\n However, his injury history does raise legitimate concerns. The Italy international has only recently returned to full fitness after undergoing shoulder surgery that kept him out since January. Prior to that, a serious cruciate ligament injury limited him to just eight appearances last season. For any club considering a move, there are complex medical assessments to make first.<\/p>\n OTHER RUMORS 0:56<\/p>\n Nicol: Viktor Gy\u00f6keres immediately makes Arsenal better<\/p>\n Steve Nicol reacts to the potential signing of Viktor Gy\u00f6keres to fill Arsenal’s striker spot.<\/p>\n – Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is closing in on a permanent move to Galatasaray, after his loan expired, for a total fee of \u20ac75m — \u20ac40m up front and \u20ac35m in add-ons.
