Marco Carnesecchi has emerged as one of the most highly regarded Italian goalkeepers, attracting interest from several major European clubs. Juventus have followed his progress for years and remain keen to bring him to Turin as they look to find a permanent solution in goal.
The Bianconeri have monitored Carnesecchi since his academy days at Atalanta and continued tracking him during his loan spell at Cremonese. That experience helped him develop into an accomplished goalkeeper, and he has since established himself as Atalanta’s first choice.
Juventus view him as a quality option for the future and have continued to follow his situation closely in recent weeks. The position is one they intend to address ahead of next season, with the club keen to secure a reliable long-term solution.
Juventus face competition for Carnesecchi
The Turin side have already made several changes to their goalkeeping department. They signed two goalkeepers on loan during the last transfer window and also brought in Neto on a short-term deal as a free agent after Kamil Grabara suffered a season-ending injury.
Despite those moves, Carnesecchi remains firmly on their radar. His performances for Atalanta have kept him among the players Juventus would like to sign, but they may now have to compete with another major club.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Manchester United are also interested in securing the Italian’s signature and could even attempt to sign him during the January transfer window.

Manchester United could make January move
The Premier League club reportedly regard Carnesecchi as one of the best goalkeepers in world football and is determined to strengthen their options in that position. Their willingness to consider an early move could complicate Juventus’ plans.
United’s interest means the Bianconeri may face serious competition if they decide to pursue the Atalanta goalkeeper. A January approach would also give the English side an opportunity to move ahead of their rivals before the summer transfer window.
Juventus have admired Carnesecchi for a long time, but that interest alone may not be enough to secure his services. With Manchester United also keen, the race for his signature could become an important transfer battle in the coming months.
