newcastle united Lewis Hall could still be lost this summer, and the Magpies may have a replacement in mind.
The player in question is AC Milan's Davide Bartesaghi, who had a breakout season in the 2025/26 campaign.
Under Max Allegri, he played 33 times in all competitions, often being first-choice left wing-back ahead of Pervis Estupinan. He also played effectively at left centre-back, as the ex-Milan manager regularly used a back three.
The season did not go well for the Rossoneri, as they missed Champions League qualification for the second consecutive campaign.
However, this has had no impact on Bartesaghi's position. sports witness Arsenal's interest in him has been covered previously, however, it is Newcastle United who have made the initial move.
magpie in touch
milanpress Let us tell you that the 20-year-old player had a 'dream season' under Allegri. Their growth has been described as 'exponential' and is attracting interest.
The talent is being 'closely monitored' by Newcastle United who could make a summer move.
They have already been in contact with the defender's team, even if no formal offer has been made. The report also indicates that the relationship between the Magpies and Milan is positive. This is because there is a deal involving Sandro Tonali and it may be easier for both clubs to make another deal.
The move is only in the preliminary stages at the moment, with Bartesaghi's contract expiring in 2030. The Rossoneri have tried to increase it before but those efforts have not been successful.
suddenly the deal will be worth it
Very similar to Bartesaghi Hall. Like the Englishman, the Italian is capable of playing a central role at the back and is a very reliable technical outlet.
He has shown in a difficult situation that he is good enough to play for a major club. Milan are not playing in the Champions League and there has been a massive change in management. They will consider some significant sales, especially if they have made capital gains.
Whatever they earn will be wasted in exactly the same way by Bartesaghi's exit.
