Milan called Scalvini on deadline day, but only one Amorim target not signed
AC Milan reportedly reached out to Atalanta on transfer deadline day in an attempt to sign highly-rated centre-back Giorgio Scalvini, but no deal materialised. The article also notes that under manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United managed to sign most of their priority targets, with only one target unfulfilled by the close of the window. The piece contextualises both clubs' deadline-day activity and the broader challenges each faced in the market.
Read the full story at football-italia.netMilan's pursuit of Scalvini reflects a long-standing need for defensive depth and a potential heir to ageing centre-backs, and the fact they only made a phone call rather than tabling a firm bid suggests Atalanta's valuation proved prohibitive. For Manchester United, the detail that only one Amorim target was missed out on points to a more aligned recruitment process under the Portuguese coach, though the identity of that missing piece will determine how damaging the window ultimately feels. Both stories underscore how deadline day increasingly hinges on late calls and near-misses as much as completed deals.
