Atalanta Talents Alludes at His Permanence at the Club

Giorgio Scalvini is in the crosshairs of the biggest teams in Italy and Europe, but Atalanta might manage to keep him next summer too thanks to a contract extension. The defender talked about his future with TuttoSport (via Mediaset).

“I only wish to thank all the coaches I had in the youth sector and Gian Piero Gasperini for making me grow and giving me the chance to play at a high level. However, I think it’s essential to see those big price tags as a starting point to get better. I recall the first practices with my current coach. He treats me as if I’ve been part of the group for a long time. That’s a major advantage since it makes you feel important. I’ve improved a lot tactically, technically, personality-wise, and in making choices.”

Scalvini recently renewed his contract until 2028.

“It makes me very happy. I’m grateful to the team and I’m very attached to the Atalanta family. I was a kid when I joined, and I’m becoming a man with this jersey. There’s only this club in my mind. I feel great here. I’m even-keeled in my everyday life too. Being given the chance of making mistakes gives you a different mentality and spirit.”

Scalvini looked ahead at Euro 2024.

“Wearing the national team jersey is always a big emotion. I was with the U-19 squad when we won the last one. My call-up depends on what I accomplish with La Dea.”
