Newcastle circle back for Scalvini after 2025 attempt According to reports from Sky Sport Italia expert Gianluca Di Marzio , Newcastle have registered an interest in picking up Scalvini from Atalanta this summer. The Magpies have reportedly been in contact with the player’s representatives, but not yet with his current club. Scalvini has two years remaining on his current contract with Atalanta, running until the summer of 2028, and has recently changed agents to join Ali Barat of Epic Sports. He had previously been represented by Tulio Tinti of TMP Soccer. Recent reports claim that Atalanta value Sclavini in the region of €40m. Newcastle had also expressed an interest in signing the Italian centre-back last summer. At the age of 22, Scalvini has already racked up 137 competitive appearances at senior level, including 113 in Serie A. He made his breakthrough with Atalanta at the age of 17 and made his senior debut for the Italy national team at the age of 19.
