Season Performance and Transfer Interest
This season, Carnesecchi has featured in 38 matches across all competitions, amassing 14 clean sheets and conceding 38 goals. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with high-profile clubs such as Inter, Juventus, Tottenham, and Manchester United expressing interest in securing his services.
It was disclosed in June that Manchester United tabled a €40m bid for Carnesecchi in the summer, which Atalanta declined. Inter and Juventus are both expected to seek new starting goalkeepers in the 2026-27 campaign, but reports indicate Inter’s preferred candidate is Guglielmo Vicario. The Tottenham goalkeeper and Italy international is reportedly open to returning to Serie A, with Inter set to meet Vicario’s representative for further discussions this month.
