Arsenal are interested in signing Atalanta’s Italian goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper is highly rated across Europe and has a bright future ahead of him. According to Tutto Atalanta, Arsenal have been tracking him for over a year and could consider a move in the coming weeks.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper has kept 17 clean sheets in all competitions this season and there is no doubt he could be an interesting addition to Arsenal. However, they have David Raya at their disposal and the Italian will struggle to get regular chances.
Raya has been the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season, and it is highly unlikely that Arsenal will leave him out of their starting XI. Marco Carnesecchi.
The Italian will not want to accept the role of reserve goalkeeper at Arsenal. He is at the peak of his career and needs to play regularly. Sitting on the bench at Arsenal will have a negative impact on his development.
Arsenal have a good relationship with the 25-year-old goalkeeper’s agent, who also represents Riccardo Calafioli. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal decide to make an offer to sign the player.
The opportunity to play for a club like Arsenal could be exciting for most players. This season they won the Premier League title and finished runners-up in the UEFA Champions League.
On the other hand, the Italian team will also not want to lose an important player like him. That could make it difficult for Arsenal to sign the player. Carnesecchi is under contract with the Italian club until 2028, so he could be in demand for the Premier League.
