Davide Bartesaghi admits it is \u2018my dream to stay at Milan for as long as possible\u2019 and reveals a surprising Rafael Leao gift. \u2018This is a magnificent club.\u2019<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old has spent his entire career in the Rossoneri jersey and entered the senior squad consistently from this season.<\/p>\n

He has made 30 competitive appearances so far this term, with two goals and one assist, so he sat down with club legend Serginho in the Off The Pitch podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a different Milan when you were there, so many champions and a different atmosphere. I started watching Milan play a little later than that,\u201d confessed Bartesaghi.<\/p>\n

He recently signed a new contract that runs to June 2030 and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Paolo Maldini as a one-club man.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my dream to stay at Milan for as long as possible, this is a magnificent club. I have a passion for Milan, the history speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartesaghi is a left-back, but he took centre-stage in last season\u2019s Supercoppa Italiana triumph, beating Inter 3-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was totally unexpected, but we still believed we could do it. That was my first trophy, one of those moments I will never forget. Moving from the youth team to the senior squad was indescribable, a dream come true. I know that I have to keep going and do far more than I did this season. I hope many more kids can experience this in future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite their stuttering recent form that has them clinging on to third place in Serie A, he insists the mood in the dressing room is still positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must always be respectful for the older players, be eager to listen and learn, but also have your say, not just stay silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartesaghi reveals that teammate Rafael Leao surprised him after the first unexpected brace of his Serie A career.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I scored a brace against Sassuolo, Rafael Leao congratulated me, then the day after he gave me a huge framed picture of my celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlexis Saelemaekers is the funniest teammate, Mike Maignan the most serious. The most severe coach I had was Sergio Conceicao, my favourites are Allegri and Pioli.\u201d<\/p>\n
