Here is the latest Arsenal transfer news as reports from Italy claim the Gunners are exploring a move for AC Milan left-back Davide Bartesaghi, one of Serie A’s most promising young defenders.
The 20-year-old has impressed Milan staff with his composure, intelligence on the ball, and ability to play both as a traditional left-back and as a defensive full-back in a back three. His versatility has caught *ARSENAL*’s attention, with Mikel Arteta reportedly looking to strengthen depth on the left side of defence.
Why Arsenal Want Davide Bartesaghi
Arsenal’s interest comes amid the need to reinforce a position that has seen injury problems and rotation this season, and with the Gunners looking to go long in all cups and win that Premier league title, Arteta knows he needs to add some more depth to the squad.
And Bartesaghi fits the profile Arsenal like, he’s young and technically strong, Tactically flexible, Comfortable playing inverted or overlapping,Capable of operating in possession-heavy systeme, and he is a Strong one-on-one defender
AC Milan’s Stance on a Sale
Reports in Italy suggest AC Milan would be reluctant to lose Bartesaghi unless a significant offer arrives. The club see him as part of their long-term defensive project and may prefer a loan with an obligation or option to buy rather than an immediate sale.
Milan have recently shown a commitment to developing homegrown youth, meaning *ARSENAL*may need to present a structured and attractive proposal in order to try and such through a deal at this stage of the season
Potential Transfer Fee and Negotiations
No official bid has been made yet, but early estimates in Italy suggest Bartesaghi could be valued between £20m and £40m, although competition or long-term contracts may push the fee higher.
Arsenal are expected to continue monitoring the player closely before making a formal approach.

This move makes a lot of sense for ARSENAL. Davide Bartesaghi is young, talented, tactically sharp and fits Arteta’s preferred style of football. With Arsenal needing more depth at left-back, this could be a clever long-term signing if a deal can be struck at the right price.

Yıldız signed a new contract last year, but that has not deterred clubs from contacting Juve — and Arsenal are now among those testing the waters.
