Arsenal Reportedly Target Atalanta Goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi
Atalanta’s reported £35m price tag plus the player’s preference for regular starts make a summer move uncertain.
Overview
- Weekend reports based on TuttoAtalanta say Arsenal are "very interested" in signing 25-year-old Marco Carnesecchi with discussions likely to surface during the summer transfer window.
- Atalanta are reported to value Carnesecchi at about £35 million and have offered him a contract extension that would run to 2030 on top of his current deal to 2028.
- There is no public confirmation of a formal Arsenal bid and the clubs and player have not made official statements to date.
- Carnesecchi made notable defensive contributions this season, with outlets citing 115 Serie A saves and about 17 clean sheets, while Arsenal already have David Raya established as first-choice goalkeeper.
- Arsenal’s existing relationship with Carnesecchi’s agent could ease talks but the player’s likely reluctance to be a backup and reported interest from other Serie A clubs such as Inter keep the outcome unclear and could push him to stay in Italy.
