Arsenal Linked With Atalanta Goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi
Reported summer talks will hinge on Atalanta’s valuation and whether the move can offer Carnesecchi regular first‑team football.
Overview
- Reports published Sunday by several outlets, citing TuttoAtalanta, say Arsenal are 'very interested' in signing Marco Carnesecchi this summer.
- Carnesecchi is 25 years old and is under contract with Atalanta until 2028 with the club said to have proposed an extension that would strengthen their bargaining position.
- Multiple reports put Atalanta’s asking price at roughly £35 million, a fee that would give the Italian club leverage and make any transfer a sizeable outlay for Arsenal.
- Arsenal have an existing relationship with Carnesecchi’s agent Alessandro Lucci, which sources say could help open negotiations but would not resolve the playing‑time question.
- A key obstacle is David Raya’s status as Arsenal’s established No.1, which makes a guaranteed starting role unlikely and could deter Carnesecchi or force further roster moves if a deal proceeds.
