Sky: Calafiori to arrive on loan as Milan will promote Primavera star Bartesaghi | OneFootball

AC Milan are making moves for the left-hand side of the defence. The Rossoneri have secured the services of Riccardo Calafiori on loan and are set to promote Primavera star Davide Bartesaghi, a report claims.

Whilst working on the sale of Fode Ballo-Toure, Milan have also been focused on securing a replacement. Riccardo Calafiori, the former Roma man currently at Basel, appears to be the chosen one but he won’t arrive on a permanent basis.

According to Sky Italia, Milan have secured the 21-year-old on loan for the upcoming season. The Rossoneri have opted for a loan instead of a permanent deal as they believe that their Primavera star Davide Bartesaghi is nearly ready for a promotion.

In 6-12 months, Milan are expected to promote the 17-year-old to the first team. The management was impressed with the youngster’s performances in the USA pre-season tour, playing both as a centre-back and a left-back.
