Chelsea and Tottenham face fresh obstacle in pursuit of highly rated centre-back

The renewal represents a major commitment from the Serie A side, which clearly views the defender as an important part of its plans for the future.

As per TEAMtalk, the agreement does not appear to have discouraged Premier League clubs from keeping tabs on him.

Newcastle remain interested, while Chelsea could continue to monitor developments as they assess their defensive options. Manchester City and Manchester United have also followed Scalvini for several years.

His new deal gives Atalanta greater security over one of their prized assets, but it may not prevent another approach from England in the future.

Given his age, versatility and experience at international level, Scalvini is likely to remain a player worth watching when the transfer market opens again.
