One of the most sought-after goalkeepers in Europe at the moment is Marco Carnesecchi, with Arsenal named among the clubs monitoring his situation.
The Gunners currently have a strong first-choice goalkeeper in David Raya, who has been consistent and reliable enough to retain his place for years to come. However, that does not stop Arsenal from continuously evaluating potential upgrades across all positions as part of their wider planning.
Goalkeeping situation at Arsenal
While Raya remains highly regarded and has played a key role in recent success, Arsenal are expected to keep monitoring the market for elite goalkeeping options who could either challenge or provide competition for the Spaniard.
The club view this as part of maintaining high standards across the squad, ensuring that every position is subject to scrutiny and improvement when suitable opportunities arise.
Interest in Marco Carnesecchi
According to Sport Witness, Atalanta’s Carnesecchi is one of the profiles admired by the club, although interest in the Italian goalkeeper is widespread.
Juventus are also reportedly in the race and could position him as a long-term number one if they fail to secure their top target, Alisson Becker, from Liverpool this summer.
Arsenal, however, may face a challenge in convincing Carnesecchi that he would be guaranteed first-choice status at the Emirates, which could prove decisive if he decides to leave Atalanta.
The Italian would be interested in testing himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world, but he would also want to move to a team where he will play as number one and not become a backup option.
Arsenal continue to assess potential targets carefully as they balance stability with ambition in key positions across the squad, with any decision likely to depend on timing, availability and the player’s expectations regarding regular involvement in matches.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through this link…
Get kvara from PSG and probably Fernandez or Rogers first before you start talking about GK. And Eze does not suit Arsenal style of play just like Arsenal has outgrown the likes of Norgard, Jesus, Martinelli and probably Trossard and White. Start from there before you begin to talk about GK for crying out loud.
No need for a back up keeper, we already have one thats good enough in Kepa.
100% agree HD, Kepa is a good back up keeper and seems to be okay with the role he is playing, unless there’s something I don’t know.
It would be extremely brave for a keeper to come in thinking he’s going to challenge Raya for the #1…
👍HD and Kia – imo, Kepa is more than adequate at least as a backup. Raya must be regularly looking over his shoulder for incoming and I suspect he isn’t going to give his honest opinion on what he perceives his weaknesses to be, given how he came to be #1
I think Carnesecchi is a top quality GK but doubt he will come to play no.2 to Raya. That said, if Arsenal do manage to convince him, as he will surely get minutes considering the number of fixtures, he would be a great buy for us.
@ Gunnerforlife,
Most teams will only rotate keepers for cup games, and no matter who comes, I don’t see this changing.
