Atalanta are set to extend Marco Carnesecchi’s deal, which could dampen transfer odds and make him a safer clean-sheet bet; punters might back Atalanta for more shutouts and reduce stakes on a summer move to Inter/Juventus as his transfer probability falls.
Atalanta close to sealing Marco Carnesecchi contract extension
Atalanta have reportedly reached a verbal agreement to extend goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi’s contract, with only the signature remaining. The 25-year-old Italy international is expected to receive a pay rise as part of the new deal, which would secure his future in Bergamo beyond the current terms that run until June 2028.
Contract details and season form
Carnesecchi has been a regular for Atalanta this season, making 38 appearances across all competitions. He has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 38 goals, stats that underline his value between the posts. The extension is expected to reflect his growing importance to the side and reward his consistency.
Transfer landscape: Inter, Juventus and Premier League interest
Links to bigger clubs have followed Carnesecchi, with Inter and Juventus among potential suitors if he were to become available. Manchester United reportedly made a bid last summer — believed to be around €40m — but Atalanta declined. Meanwhile, Inter are separately pursuing a goalkeeper option in Guglielmo Vicario, who is open to a return to Serie A from Tottenham, and fresh talks are expected regarding that target.
International status
Carnesecchi has been involved with the Italy setup under the new coaching staff but is yet to make his senior competitive debut. Keeping him tied to Atalanta maintains his club-game platform ahead of future national-team opportunities.
Betting angles: what punters should consider
A confirmed extension reduces immediate transfer uncertainty and should lower the market probability of Carnesecchi moving to a different club in the summer.
For bettors, that can translate into:
- Shorter odds for Atalanta to record clean sheets with Carnesecchi retained.
- Reduced value on outright markets predicting a high-profile summer transfer for the goalkeeper.
- Consider backing match markets that favor Atalanta defensive stability while the club retains its first-choice goalkeeper.

Overall, the deal — once signed — would stabilise Atalanta’s goalkeeping situation and alter both transfer markets and related betting lines.
