Giorgio Scalvini, born on 11 December 2003 (age 22), is an Italy international central defender whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Atalanta. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.94m), he wears No 42 and has the build for the job, which is always a useful start when defending in Serie A.
Atalanta have given him the platform and the minutes. Across six league seasons he has made 118 league appearances and scored seven goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2025-2026, when he scored three times in 24 league matches. His market value is around £38.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how highly he is regarded without needing much embroidery.
In 2026-2027, Scalvini has made five Serie A appearances and two in the Conference League Qualifiers for Atalanta, seven appearances in all competitions. He has also been involved with Italy, making one Nations League appearance this season.
His career remains a straightforward one to read: an Italian defender developed and established at Atalanta, now with more than 100 league games behind him while still in his early twenties.
