Overview
- CaughtOffside reports Arsenal have placed the 19-year-old on a January shortlist, but sources say a mid-season deal looks unrealistic at Milan's roughly €45m price.
- Real Madrid and Manchester City are monitoring the defender, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich also named in separate reports as tracking his progress.
- Bartesaghi has broken into Milan’s first team this season with 13 senior appearances, contributing two goals and an assist.
- The academy product signed a contract to 2030 and Milan are described as unwilling to sanction a January sale.
- An earlier MilanLive claim suggested Arsenal were ready to pay €25m, a figure not widely corroborated and illustrative of uncertainty around any eventual fee.
