Atalanta has started looking for Marco Carnesecchi's replacement, which has given Manchester United new hope in their quest for the highly regarded Italian custodian. Carnesecchi played a key role in Atalanta's season, leading the team with a string of calm performances that drew the attention of recruiters at Old Trafford and Italy's new head coach Gennaro Gattuso.
United's interest is well-established, even if no formal bid has been made as of yet. According to people familiar with the matter, a bid of between €45 and €50 million (£38 and £42 million) might spark a meaningful conversation in Bergamo. Atalanta has already selected possible successors in anticipation of such a situation. Tuttoatalanta claims that Elia Caprile, who will be reclaimed by Napoli following a season at Cagliari, has become a leading contender. In recent months, Atalanta scouts have kept a close eye on the 23-year-old.
