Both Arsenal and Barcelona are preparing a transfer tussle as they chase AC Milan defender.
Arsenal push for AC Milan Talent
Arsenal have been keeping a very close eye on AC Milan‘s Davide Bartesaghi, as per reports. The young 19-year-old player has become a strong player in Serie A unnoticed by anybody. He is gradually unmasking his skills and growth.
Head coach Mikel Arteta has openly said that the club’s future policy would be characterized by the signing of young, flexible players. The Gunners want players who can take on different positions and change the style of play as per to the coach’s needs.
Meanwhile, Bartesaghi is the one that meets that idea. He is even thinking about the chance of playing at both a left-back and a center-back positions. He wants to give the team with more tactical options.
As per Italian media, if AC Milan are even remotely open to talks, Arsenal might get ready to make a formal bid during the next summer. The Gunners consider him a player of high worth. He can be grown into a big star for the team in the next years.
His height and his calmness on the ball together make him an ideal option for Arteta’s playing style.
Barcelona enter the race
Arsenal is still interested in the player, but Barcelona is already moving fast to show their interest. The Spanish club is still cautious financially but needs new defenders.
Bartesaghi’s dazzling performances for Milan have made Barca regard him as a defender who could be a long-term option.
Author’s opinion:
The timing of Davide Bartesaghi’s rise could not have been better. His next move will challenge both his ambition and patience. The club that signs him will be a lucky one to have such a talent who might rule Europe for a long time.
