The summer transfer window is developing.
Several Premier League teams are planning major changes to their squads.
Manchester United and Arsenal are both set to be quite active.
However, they have different priorities based on their needs from the past season.
Arsenal is likely looking to boost its forward line, while United is aiming to improve its defence and midfield.
Recruitment discussions are already underway, and some targets are starting to overlap.
One player gaining attention from both clubs is Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.
The 25-year-old has made a mark in Serie A this season, recording 10 clean sheets in 26 league games for Atalanta.
He has a market value of around £35 million.
If Atalanta fails to qualify for the Champions League, there is a growing belief in Italy that Carnesecchi might be available for a move.
For United, the interest is clear.
The team’s goalkeeping situation remains uncertain.
While Senne Lammens has performed well since joining, there is still a need for top competition.
Carnesecchi’s profile aligns with what United seems to be looking for.
His track record has made him one of Italy’s most promising young goalkeepers, well-suited for the Premier League’s demands.
United may feel they have an advantage over Arsenal in this pursuit.
At Arsenal, David Raya is established as the first choice, with Kepa Arrizabalaga as an experienced option.
At United, the path to regular first-team football could be more straightforward, particularly with Andre Onana possibly not in the club’s future plans.
However, any potential transfer may hinge on resolving Onana’s situation first, whether that be a permanent move or a loan, to make space in the squad.
