The young Milan academy product Davide Bartesaghi is living the brightest moment of his so far short career: the Rossoneri winger is taking center stage on the left flank match after match, even challenging the hierarchy with Estupinan, signed for a large sum in the summer and brought in as the designated starter to replace a player like Theo Hernandez.
A continuous rise
Deployed consistently in recent weeks, also due to Estupinan’s injury, Bartesaghi has shown solidity, personality, and a surprising balance between defensive duties and offensive thrust. His development is convincing the entire Rossoneri environment, especially Massimiliano Allegri, who has never hidden his confidence in the youngster. In a recent press conference, he stated that Bartesaghi has the "physique du rôle" to play for Milan, praising his maturity and tactical awareness, which still need work and improvement, especially since he is not yet a fully formed player.
Identity, freshness, and potential
Bartesaghi runs, presses, supports the play, provides width, energy, and increasingly precise reads. The fact that all this comes from a Milan youth product makes his rise even more significant. The message is clear: on the left, Milan no longer has just one option, Pervis Estupinan, but also, and above all, Davide Bartesaghi, who continues to grow and impress week after week, with Allegri apparently starting to see him as more than a simple alternative.
