I’ve mentioned him repeatedly on here for about two years I think. I’d love him here, tall, fast, strong, an actual centre back to do centre back things.

Martinez replacement?
I read Newcastle were in for him
I feel like if the money is right then the Ederson issues won’t really matter.
Not sure Villa need another CB.
Pretty good
He's right footed.
He has a bizarrely low ground duel % of 30.6 which leads to a 2 percentile but I'm sure that can be fixed, as his duels won percentile is 73. If he picks his battles a bit better so hes more likely to win them that 73 goes down a bit, but shouldnt be too low. The real issue Scalvini might have is that Atalanta play with 3 at the back weekly and here we'd be playing 2. So he'd have to adjust. But hes a good tall young defender who can play a bit as well as defend
Pretty sure Chelsea were linked with this guy a month or so ago, before the WC. Noise died down after a while.
Again being linked to him, usurping Newcastle.
I'd rather sign Diomande (Forest quoted 35+5 which I'd snap their hand off for) as he has a better physical profile for the Premier League than Scalvini.
But if it's like... a choice between Scalvini and Permacrock De Ligt or Maguire then it's no contest. For the right price.

We need someone more experienced.
