Back in November, Tutto Sport revealed the Red Devils are in a favored position to lure the Italian international.

Moreover, Tutto Atalanta covered a story and stated that Atalanta could sell their prized asset to Man Utd for a fee of 50 million euros (£43.5m).

A week back, renowned Italian journalist, Alfredo Pedulla, stated the Old Trafford outfit are in the picture to lure Scalvini.

The Catalan news source have mentioned that Man Utd are ready to pay £43.5m fee i.e. the release clause to finally secure Scalvini in January.

The 20-year-old is already one of the best center halves in the Italian Serie A and is also on the radar of Spurs, Chelsea, Inter, Juventus and Real Madrid.

In the current campaign, so far, the youngster has started 15 league games for Atalanta and helped them keep 7 clean sheets.
