Arsenal have been tracking Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi for more than a year and could look to make a move in the coming weeks.

The 25-year-old has kept 17 clean sheets across all competitions this season, establishing himself as one of the most highly rated goalkeepers in Europe.

Arsenal’s interest in Carnesecchi has been reported by TuttoAtalanta, with the club believed to be monitoring his situation closely ahead of a potential summer approach.

A significant factor in any potential deal is Arsenal’s strong relationship with Carnesecchi’s agent, who also represents defender Riccardo Calafiori at the club.

That existing connection could prove important if Arsenal decide to progress their interest and submit a formal offer for the Italian international.

However, a major obstacle stands in Arsenal’s path, with David Raya having established himself as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season.

It is highly unlikely that Arsenal would drop Raya from their starting lineup simply to accommodate the arrival of another goalkeeper of Carnesecchi’s calibre.

Carnesecchi is entering the peak years of his career and will be reluctant to accept a backup role, as regular playing time is essential to his continued development.

Arsenal’s appeal as a club remains considerable after winning the Premier League title this season and finishing as runners-up in the UEFA Champions League.

Atalanta are also expected to resist any approach for their goalkeeper, with Carnesecchi under contract at the Italian club until 2028, meaning they can demand a significant transfer fee.
