MAN UTD'S NEW NO.1? RED DEVILS TARGET ATALANTA'S CARNESECCHI AS €40M ONANA REPLACEMENT
Manchester United appear to be prioritizing a goalkeeper overhaul this summer and have set their sights keenly on Marco Carnesecchi, the highly regarded shot-stopper from Atalanta. The Italian keeper is seen as a potential long-term successor to Andre Onana and representing a savvy investment in the post-Onana era.
Reducing Uncertainty Between the Posts
After a season marked by inconsistency in goal, United are eager to secure a reliable custodian. Various names have been floated, but at 23, Carnesecchi offers youth combined with proven performance. His agility, command in the box, and confidence with the ball align well with United’s ambitions under their current strategy.
Atalanta Hold the Cards
Atalanta are aware of Carnesecchi’s potential and have made it clear that any transfer must reflect that value. With a firm €40 million+ valuation, they’re in no rush to sell and expect Manchester United to demonstrate serious intent — both financially and financially.
Why Carnesecchi?
Youth with experience: Despite his age, he has accumulated valuable experience in Serie A and the Champions League.
Technical strengths: Known for shot-stopping, distribution skills, and leadership at the back.
Long-term replacement: Seen as tailor-made to take over from Onana over the coming seasons.
What Lies Ahead
Talks between the two clubs are expected to begin soon, with United looking to negotiate package terms — which may include performance add-ons or a staggered payment structure. Time is of the essence: United need clarity in goal before pre-season gets fully underway, and Atalanta are prepared to hold their ground unless a top-tier offer arrives.
