Manchester United are intensifying their pursuit of Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi and prepared to offer €40m, though it is still not enough to satisfy La Dea.

The Red Devils have struggled in recent years to find a reliable shot-stopper and they hope to build strong foundations on the talented Italian youngster.

He turns 25 next week and has 88 Serie A appearances under his belt, as well as nine in the Champions League.

We can exclusively confirm that Manchester United are ready to make a firm offer starting at €40m, with the possibility of adding more performance-related bonuses and add-ons.

It is not quite enough to meet the Atalanta asking price, which is closer to €50m, but the extras can help bridge that gap.

In order for this to go through, the Premier League side would first need to sell Andre Onana, who has struggled since the €50m transfer from Inter and has proposals from the Saudi Pro League.

Manchester United also remain interested in Atalanta midfielder Ederson, although he too is a tough nut to crack, also targeted by Al-Hilal.
