The plan is for this to be rectified in 2026, and so far, they have drawn up a shortlist featuring several names.<\/p>\n<p>Goncalo Inacio features highly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football-espana.net\/2025\/10\/18\/barcelona-sporting-cp-stop-goncalo-inacio-deal\">although Sporting CP have no plans to let him leave<\/a>. Marc Guehi is also a target, but given the club\u2019s lack of financial muscle, there is scope to suggest that a younger, low-cost option may be brought in instead \u2013 and that is where Davide Bartesaghi could come in.<\/p>\n<p>According to MilanLive (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sport.es\/es\/noticias\/barca\/barca-interesado-grandes-promesas-ac-123165095\">Sport<\/a>), Barcelona are keeping tabs on Bartesaghi, who is also attracted interest from Arsenal. The 19-year-old has broken into the Milan starting line-up in recent weeks, and although he has featured as a left-back\/left wing-back, the Catalans believe that he could be moulded into a central defender.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"5286\" height=\"3524\" class=\"wp-image-320211 has-webp lazyload\" style=\"height:auto;max-width: 2048px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/perth-glory-v-ac-milan-min-scaled.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Paul Kane\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Bartesaghi could be a shrewd move for Barcelona<\/h2>\n<p>It would make little sense for Barcelona to target Bartesaghi as a left-back, given that they have Alejandro Balde, Gerard Martin and Jofre Torrents in that area of the pitch. And as a centre-back, it could be a good option, even if he hasn\u2019t featured in the position since making the step up to the Rossoneri first team.<\/p>\n<p>However, it could be tricky to get Milan to do business as a price that Barcelona would find acceptable, given his age and developing squad status.
