Giorgio Scalvini, born on 11 December 2003 (age 22), is an Italian central defender for Atalanta, where he wears squad number 42. At a commanding 6ft 4in (1.94m), he has the frame for the role, though his reputation has come from rather more than simply being difficult to miss.
His senior career has been overwhelmingly an Atalanta one. Across six seasons he has made 118 league appearances and scored seven league goals, which tells its own story about how quickly he became part of the furniture in Bergamo. His most productive league campaign so far came in 2025–26, when he scored three times in 24 appearances.
In 2026–27, Scalvini has made five Serie A appearances and two more in Conference League qualifying for Atalanta. He has also remained in the Italy picture, with two Nations League appearances this season. His market value is around £38.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Scalvini is not a journeyman profile dressed up as something grander. He is an established Atalanta defender, still young, already experienced, and tied closely to the club where his senior football has taken shape.
