Giorgio Scalvini arrived at Atalanta as a young academy player in 2015. Eleven years later, he has represented Italy, established himself in Serie A and signed a new contract with the club that developed him.
His journey began at Zingonia, Atalanta’s renowned training centre, where he progressed through the youth ranks before earning his place in the first team. Now 22, Scalvini has made 144 senior appearances for the club, with Atalanta describing him as a “son of Zingonia” following his latest contract renewal.
His story reflects something Atalanta have spent years building. The club’s commitment to developing young players has produced another Italian international who understands its identity, having experienced the entire journey from academy football to the demands of Serie A and European competition.
The new agreement represents another chapter in a relationship that has already spanned more than a decade. For Scalvini, it means continuing his career at the club where it all began. For Atalanta, it means retaining one of the clearest examples of what their academy was built to achieve.
