Arsenal is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Davide Bartesaghi, the promising left-back from AC Milan.
According to an exclusive report from my Daily Briefing, the Gunners are not alone, as Manchester City and Real Madrid also have their sights set on the 19-year-old, who has an estimated market value of €45 million.
This season, Bartesaghi has established himself in Milan’s starting XI, netting 2 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions.
Arsenal holds Bartesaghi in high regard as Mikel Arteta searches for potential left-back recruits, which may include players like Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Details on Arsenal’s Interest in Bartesaghi
A reliable source in the football agent community mentioned: “Arsenal has placed Davide Bartesaghi on their shortlist for the January transfer window. However, with Milan valuing him at approximately €45 million, making a move mid-season appears challenging.”
Considering Hincapie’s ability to play as a left-back, it might make sense for Arsenal to contemplate replacing him with either Bartesaghi or Brown.
At this time, I have not heard of any interest from Barcelona, nor have I received any indications that Arsenal is dissatisfied with Hincapie’s integration and potential long-term contributions.
