The second team, relegated from Serie C last season and now fifth in its amateur group, has launched talents as per the club’s programme. In addition to the full-back, Jimenez and Zeroli also benefited from the experience. And now there’s Sala
On the pitch the results have been disappointing and last year’s relegation, in their first adventure in Serie C, combined with the current fifth place in D, nine points behind leaders Chievo Verona, bear witness to this. However, the Milan Futuro project in via Aldo Rossi is not considered a failure. Indeed… The creation of the Under 23 team has helped the Rossoneri talents grow and has even contributed to Allegri’s men’s current second place in the standings. Which? It allowed Davide Bartesaghi to collect 27 appearances in the championship and playout. A nice wealth of experience as well as a stage to show his potential. The use in Serie C allowed the left winger born in 2005 both to make some appearances last season among the “big players” and to face 2025-26 with great conviction in his abilities. And since both Tare and Allegri began the Rossoneri adventure after having studied the material at their disposal well, Bartesaghi was not sold despite the many loan requests. Now Max uses it continuously because Estupinan was injured and has not yet returned to the top.

In total in 2024-25 with the Under 23s for Francesco 20 appearances and 7 goals. Finished? No because with Milan Futuro last year Zeroli showed off, loaned to Monza in the summer, and above all Alex Jimenez, who was promoted to the first team in December 2024. And if the club sold him to Bournemouth on loan (1.5 million) with the obligation to buy conditional on reaching half of the season’s appearances (over 20 million), the credit also goes to the second Rossoneri team which, as planned, enhances the talents. Does it matter more or less than results? At Milan, where they hope that the next striker will be Sala, they have no doubts: more…
