Manchester United have reportedly learnt that it would cost them between €45-50 million to land Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.
It was reported yesterday that Ruben Amorim considers current number one Andre Onana a key player at the club.
Nonetheless, there have also been significant reports suggesting the Portuguese coach is keen to replace the Cameroonian keeper after another less than convincing season between the posts.
The Red Devils have recently been linked to experienced keepers like Emiliano Martinez and Marc-André ter Stegen to replace Onana in goal.
Recent reports indicate that the club also have Italian Carnesecchi on their radar after his impressive displays in Italy.
TuttoAtalanta now report that the Serie A club would expect between €45-50 million to sell their number one this summer.
The Italian site claims that United are fed up with Onana’s inconsistencies and see the Atalanta star as “the first choice” to begin a new era at the club.
“Carnesecchi is considered a pillar of the Bergamo team” but a significant offer could certainly change Atalanta’s resistance to hold onto him.
It is reported that were United to make a “concrete offer” in the previously mentioned ballpark figure, Atalanta would seriously consider doing a deal.
What’s more, as Carnesecchi is a product of their youth team, a €45 million fee would be a huge financial gain for La Dea.
Another factor that could help move the deal along is “the excellent harmony between Atalanta and Manchester United”. The two sides have built up strong ties after United’s purchases of Amad and Rasmus Hojlund in recent years.
The 24 year old played 45 games in all competitions last year, conceding just 45 goals in total. He also kept an impressive 18 clean sheets, including five in the Champions League.
