Marco Carnesecchi set to extend with Atalanta despite rivarled interest

Atalanta pulled of a magical comeback, on Wednesday against Borussia Dortmund. A 2-0 loss in Dortmund gave them little chance of advancing but they managed to pull it off. It wasn’t without drama however, as Lazar Samardzic won the tie for Atalanta in the 98th minute from a spot kick.

This is even more impressive considering that Atalanta lost two of their best players from last season. Matteo Retegui left Atalanta last summer to join Al Qadsiah. Then in January, Ademola Lookman left to join Atletico Madrid, after being unhappy with the club.

These huge losses now represent what Atalanta is becoming as a club. Large sales are now apart of their reputation, with them bringing out young players to sell for profit. It is hard to see this changing as well as both Ederson and Marco Carnesecchi could be sold this summer in similar fashion.

However, recent reports from Matteo Moretto state that the opposite could happen for Marco Carnesecchi, with him instead choosing to stay with Atalanta. Carnesecchi will renew his contract with the intention of staying in Bergamo for his future. Ederson however, could still be on his way out of the door.

Carnesecchi staying with Atalanta, could have massive ramifications within Serie A. Juventus were preparing to make a serious attempt to sign him this summer. This comes as they aim to replace Michele Di Gregorio this summer, and could now look to Guglielmo Vicario.

This would then put them into direction competition with Inter Milan, as they look for a new goalkeeper. If Inter miss out on Vicario because of Juventus they could make a big move to sign Mile Svilar. Roma are open to selling Svilar having Elia Caprile from Cagliari ready as a replacement.
