Born on 1 July 2000 in Italy, Marco Carnesecchi is a promising goalkeeper for Italian football club Atalanta. Standing at a towering 6ft 1in (1.86m) and weighing in solid 12st 8lb (80kg), Carnesecchi rocks the number 29 jersey for his club. With a rising career, the Italian also represents the Italy U21 national team in the global arena.
According to Transfermarkt, Carnesecchi's current market value stands around the impressive figure of £13.6m. His existing contract with Atalanta is poised to continue till 30 June 2026, with 1 year and 9 months still remaining.
Carnesecchi's career started with a transfer from Cesena in Serie B to Atalanta in Serie A in Italy for an undisclosed fee in January 2017. He marked the 2023-2024 season with 27 solid first team appearances in league matches. Taking the current 2024-2025 season into account, Carnesecchi has seen the pitch seven times on first team line-ups.
A brief departure from Atalanta took place in July 2019, when Carnesecchi was transferred to Trapani in the Serie C for a season-long loan. His performance remained sturdy, with 33 first team appearances throughout the 2019-2020 season.
Returning to Atalanta in August 2020, after the conclusion of his loan, Carnesecchi once again featured heavily in the first team line-up, managing 27 appearances in the 2023-2024 season.
A second loan agreement took Carnesecchi to Cremonese in Serie B in January 2021. The time at Cremonese proved beneficial, with him making 20 first team appearances in the 2020 - 2021 season, 36 in the 2021 - 2022 season and 27 in the 2022 - 2023 season.
After a sojourn with Cremonese, Carnesecchi returned to Atalanta in June 2022. But a short stint of only a few months saw him swiftly back to Cremonese on loan for the 2022-2023 season. He continued his strong showing with 27 first team appearances.
Having fulfilled his second loan spell with Cremonese, Carnesecchi returned to Atalanta in June 2023. With his continued contributions, his line-ups for the first team currently stand at 7 for the 2024-2025 season.
Carnesecchi's international career began with three starts for Italy U21 at the UEFA U21 Qualifiers 2023. Mixing things up a little, he also made one start for Atalanta at the Europa League 2023 - 2024 and three starts at the Champions League 2024 - 2025, demonstrating his potential as an all-round player.
