Marco Carnesecchi

Marco Carnesecchi is an Italian goalkeeper from Rimini, born on 1 July 2000, who stands 1.91 metres tall. He began at Sant'Ermete Calcio before joining Cesena's youth academy in 2014, where he developed until Atalanta recruited him in 2017. With Atalanta Primavera, Carnesecchi won Campionato Primavera 1 in 2018–19 before moving into senior football on loan. He made his professional debut for Trapani in 2019–20, making 33 appearances. After joining Cremonese in January 2021, he helped the side earn promotion to Serie A in 2022, kept eight clean sheets in the promotion campaign, and was named Serie B's Best Goalkeeper for 2021–22. Despite Cremonese's relegation in 2023, Carnesecchi's performances strengthened his reputation before he returned to Atalanta in July that year. At Atalanta, he has developed into a proactive goalkeeper involved in buildup and defensive sweeping, and he started the 2024 UEFA Europa League final as the club defeated Bayer Leverkusen.
