Giorgio Scalvini, born on 11 December 2003 (age 22), is an Italian central defender whose career has been shaped almost entirely at Atalanta. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.94m), he plays with the physical frame expected of a modern centre-half, though Atalanta have tended to ask rather more of him than simply heading things away.
Wearing squad number 42, Scalvini has become a long-term fixture in Bergamo, with 119 league appearances and seven league goals across six seasons. His most productive league campaign came in 2025-2026, when he scored three times in 24 appearances.
In 2026-2027, he has made six Serie A appearances and two more in Conference League qualifiers for Atalanta. He has also been involved with Italy, making three Nations League appearances this season. His current market value is around £38.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Scalvini’s profile is straightforward enough: an established Italian defender, still young, already heavily associated with Atalanta, and with his club career to date defined by regular football in Bergamo.
