Arsenal are stepping up efforts to bring in young Italian defender.
Italian defender grabbing attention from Arsenal
Reports claim that Arsenal had scouts in the crowd for the clash between Juventus and AC Milan to observe Davide Bartesaghi. He showed a very cool head throughout the match. Though he was involved in a scoreless game and thus attracted the attention of many leading clubs.
Besides, the Gunners’ scouts at the match also took note of the Juve striker Kenan Yildiz. He is yet another rising star in the European football scene.
The development of Bartesaghi has been a great advantage for Milan. He was grown in their academy and was already making first team appearances by 2023. He grabbed his chance when Pervis Estupinan suffered an injury. His five appearances this season were enough to get much attention from all over Europe.
Italian reports state that Mikel Arteta’s team is slowly tracking his development. But, no official contact has been made so far.
Milan’s stand
Milan are in a very favorable situation when it comes to transfer talks. This comes following Bartesaghi’s new deal that runs until the year 2030. The player is regarded by the club as one of their brightest defensive talents. They might only accept a move if a very high-priced one comes in.
At the same time, the Gunners’ are showing readiness to track such young players. This hints about their plans to built a big and strong team that will be able to compete effectively in the future.
These are the times where new defenders are hardly available. That said, Bartesaghi is a player who has both the potential and the maturity. He will be ready to be developed through right coaching at the highest level.
Author’s Opinion:
Arsenal’s pursuit of Bartesaghi reflects their sharp eye for long-term talent. If they move fast, this could prove a clever move before he becomes unreachable in value.
