Giorgi Scalvini, a 20-year-old Italian central defender, currently plays for Atalanta and is under contract until 2028. It was reported that Ancelotti appreciates his defensive profile, especially to bolster a defense that has suffered several injuries. Despite coming off a cruciate ligament rupture, Scalvini is expected to return in November. At that point, Real Madrid will closely monitor his performance to assess a potential offer.

Giorgio Scalvini, a central defender, was one of the players rumored for Real Madrid. With the long-term absences of Militao and Alaba, the club seemed compelled to turn to the winter market for reinforcement. Several names came up, including Scalvini, but Carlo Ancelotti ruled out signing a central defender at that time, trusting Tchouameni and Carvajal as substitutes if Nacho or Rudiger failed. Considering the possible departure of the captain, the whites now saw a great opportunity in the Italian to reinforce their defense.
