"The match against Lazio confirmed the level that the left-back is playing at. After coming through the academy and making his first-team debut on 23 September 2023 under Stefano Pioli, Bartesaghi picked up a red card in his first match last season, on 27 September 2024 against Lecce. On May 17, a few days after losing the Coppa Italia final (which he watched from the bench), he was relegated to Serie D with Milan Futuro following the play-off against SPAL."
"He started out as a backup to new signing Pervis Estupinan, but now the Italy U21 international is starting week-in week-out, much to the delight of his mother Stefania and father Daniele, the man who drove him to training. Now he's aiming to be called up for the national team's play-offs in March or for the World Cup. "A dream I have to make come true by continuing to work hard," he admitted."
Davide Bartesaghi has earned a regular starting role at AC Milan, forming part of a defensive line with Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic and Saelemaekers on the opposite flank. He progressed from the academy, debuted on 23 September 2023, and overcame setbacks including a red card and a Serie D relegation with Milan Futuro. Initially a backup to Pervis Estupinan, Bartesaghi now starts consistently and represents Italy at U21 level. He aims for a senior national team call-up and a World Cup place. Milan renewed his contract until 2030 to showcase the Milan Futuro development pathway.
