If Bellingham fails to arrive, Klopp wants 18-year-old Italian, would cost 26 million

The more the days go by, more and more comments revolve around Jude Bellingham and his arrival on Merseyside for next season, with a number of versions already painting him in red in 2023, while a few more have said that his destination is next to Real Madrid in Spain, a situation that has led Liverpool to prepare and have a deck of possibilities that could materialise if the answer for the English jewel is a resounding no.

Until before the World Cup in Qatar began, the situation in the midfield of the Reds had already improved substantially with the rotation used by Jurgen Klopp depending on the opponent in turn, but in order for the German tactician not to always depend on that strategy until his rivals catch the trick, they have already prepared with multiple options for reinforcement in that area, recently emerging this interest in Giorgio Scalvini who is living his first steps as a professional alongside a historic Serie A player.

The Italian-born player has pleasantly surprised Atalanta B.C in his first two seasons as a first division player, because at just 18 years old, Giorgio has stood out not only for his great defensive work in the 2021-2022 season, but now he has also left a good taste in his mouth performing a few meters further forward as a midfielder, conditions that caught the attention of Liverpool who were looking for youth mixed with talent in that position.

If by the characteristics shown at Atalanta he was already a great target for Liverpool to follow, the fact that his price is around 26 million pounds made him a more attractive target for the Reds, delighting even more when they found out that Giorgio's contract will expire next summer, reason that could make him a free player and he could come to Merseyside for free.

Klopp wants Giorgio Scalvini

Perhaps inexperience is a factor that could work against the Italian if manager Jurgen Klopp wants him as his next midfield star if he is rejected by Bellingham, as the still Atalanta player is seen more by the people at Anfield as a prospect who they could take by the hand until he becomes a benchmark of that block that has caused so many headaches for the Liverpool manager.
