BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal officials now in Italy today to Negotiate and Repeat another Riccardo Calafiori transfer over the weekend – Agent arrives early hours of today
Davide Bartesaghi is yet to fully break into AC Milan’s first-team but he is already attracting interest from Arsenal.
The 19-year-old has played only once in Serie A this season. That appearance came last weekend, when he came off the bench against Napoli.
Journalist Carlo Pellegatti has now talked about the talent’s situation. He spoke on his Youtube channel about Bartesaghi, revealing that Arsenal are sending an official to watch him on Sunday.
Pervis Estupinan was sent off against Napoli last week. He’s suspended for the clash against Juventus tomorrow. This will see Bartesaghi make his first start of the season on Sunday.
Pellegati revealed Arsenal are interested in the defender, even if no offers have been made.
He said, relayed by MilanNews: “Arsenal are interested in Bartesaghi. There have been no offers. Bartesaghi is a player who has received high praise from former AC Milan players.
“He has a contract until 2030. There haven’t been any offers yet, but there will be some Arsenal scouts at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening to follow Bartesaghi. Let’s not forget that Arsenal have already been scouting, signing, and scouting Calafiori in the Italian league.
“They’re following Bartesaghi. This is the rumour, which doesn’t mean he’ll go to Arsenal, but it does mean there are interested teams, especially one, for this boy whose qualities we haven’t yet discovered. But keep an eye on the Gunners.”
So far in his career, Bartesaghi has shown versatility by playing at left-back, left midfield and centre-back.
That is similar to how Riccardo Calafiori operates on the pitch. The Italy international joined Arsenal after acquiring a lot of first-team football experience in Italy and Switzerland.
Bartesaghi is yet to do that. It would be better to judge him when he fully becomes a first-team player at Milan.
