Atalanta star Scalvini reveals role model: 'At Milan he was my idol' – video

Giorgio Scalvini has admitted that he watched AC Milan when he was growing up as a kid and that Thiago Silva became his idol because of his time with the Rossoneri.

Scalvini spoke on the Chiamarsi Bomber YouTube channel and he answered a question about who his role model is, to which he responded by naming the Brazilian.

“Since I was a child I have followed Thiago Silva, at Milan he was my idol and source of inspiration for his character, charisma and sense of leadership. I also admired the Brazilian in France and now at Chelsea, I have always liked him a lot as a defender.”

It was actually reported in Spain that Milan have set their sights on Scalvini of Atalanta and he is considered a main target in the 2024 summer transfer window.

At 19 years old, Scalvini has been one of the most impressive young defenders in the league and the feeling is that the time might soon come to leave Atalanta.
