Giorgio Scalvini has admitted that Thiago Silva was his idol growing up when the centre-back was at AC Milan, amid reports the Rossoneri are interested in signing the Atalanta starlet.
Scalvini’s mature performances and his qualities have attracted the attention of scouts from the top Italian and European clubs for a year now. Juventus, Inter, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid have all been linked.
Calciomercato.com recently reported that the two Serie A sides that have expressed most interest are Inter and Juve but they have budgetary problems. Milan, Napoli and Roma are watching carefully but would only make a move in the event of a sale.
Scalvini was interviewed by TMW and as part of it he was asked if it was true that Thiago Silva has been his idol since he was a child, which he confirmed but also picked out a current Nerazzurri defender as a role model.
“I always liked him when I was little, I watched Serie A and he was at Milan. I really like how he is on the pitch, he’s a leader with great spirit and charisma,” he said.
“But I also followed Bastoni a lot, having been here at Atalanta. In the youth sector, many used him as an example to follow. Sometimes I stopped to look at him when he was playing in the Primavera.”
