The AC Milan management are already thinking ahead to the January transfer window and they believe they could land a left-back.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan will be ready to seize the opportunity to sign Juan Miranda from Real Betis if it becomes concrete. The left-back is considered the ideal deputy to Theo Hernandez for the future, and his deal expires in 2024.

If the current stalemate over a renewal continues, in a few months the Spaniard will be free to agree terms with another team, which is a factor that cannot be discarded.
Milan have an advantage because they have been tracking the player for some time and have been in contact with his entourage too, while the player seems tempted by the idea of making the move.
Betis could soon find themselves at a crossroads: either they resign themselves to the idea of losing Miranda on a free or they sell him in January, which could see his summer asking price (€12m) halved.
so where does that leave Bartesaghi ? we bring in another random foreigner who will stop one of our homegrown talents getting any playing time.
Also whats wrong with going for an italian left back : Marchizza, Ruggeri, Mazzocchi, Gallo !!! all bloody good left backs and all easily affordable
i know everyone will say too expensive, not good enough, growth decree….bla, bla, but come on we need some italian blood, we are fast becoming more internazionale than the team that was created Internazionale !!??
We’re already there. Absolutely 0 respect for club history anymore.
I’m not sure we could even register him for the champions league.
Any club can register an UNLIMITED number of players on the B list. And Bartesaghi or any other kid can be registered for CL without taking a single spot from the A list.
Where he should have already been, on a loan in Serie B or lower Serie A club, where he can play. You don’t seem to understand how young players are developed but you can take a look of how the best clubs do it. Exactly like that.
Barteseghi is good, but very young. He’d benefit from a year out on loan being first choice somewhere. I’m sure he has a future at Milan.
I always wonder why Italian clubs are too afraid to play their youth players to the first squad.. They always said not too hurry the development of the youths blabla.. I mean, look at Spain, England, German league where youths can thrive there.. not even to mention France league where youths develop fast there.. Haaland, Saka, Bellingham, Gavi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal even Messi starts at young age at Barca.. Why can’t we do that to Camarda, Zeroli, Chaka?
What? Haaland played in Austria, Bellingham in Championship, 2nd league of England, Gavi played about the same as Bartesaghi at that age, Pedri was playing for a low team, not for Barcelona before he was signed, so with experience already, Messi didn’t start a game before he was 18. Stop making things up because you think something is like that. NOBODY PLAYS 15 AND 16 YEAR OLD KIDS IN THE FIRST TEAM.
It is only in France because the league is so weak you can play kids. Only in France. Young players play in Italy as much as in other leagues, kids don’t play anywhere but in France.
Err lamine yamal – 16 years old at Barcelona??
Bellingham senior debut for Birmingham City – championship team – at the age of 16
Haaland played for RB salzberg in the Austrian league at the age of 17
Can you name one more player besides Yamal? And not in weak leagues? Your point is not even a point, you just proved exactly what I said. No serious team plays kids, maybe once in a while there is a generational talent but none of those mentioned up there are. 0.
And you forgot the best example, which just shows how much you don’t know. Donnarumma, played at Milan since 16. Why? Because he was good enough, these kids are not.
Warren Zaire, moukoko, Bajčetić, Rico Lewis, cher ndour, fresneda, musiala two years back, mathys tel, and many many more, most serious teams outside Serie A give loads of chances to 18-20 year old kids especially during games against relegation teams, and Milan is one of the worst at Serie A, even Allegri who is well known for using more experienced players gives chances here and there to next gen players and youngsters, it’s sad really, pioli has been really consistent this term however it can be argued that he ought to give more chances to youngsters to gain more experience, not even against Champions League teams, but the likes of Cagliari, Verona etc etc
