It has seemed more likely than not that AC Milan would retain Alexis Saelemaekers this season. However, there could be a shift.
Like Paulo Fonseca last summer, Massimiliano Allegri started the summer wanting to keep Saelemaekers thanks to the possibilities that he provided. A versatile winger, the Belgian is capable of playing anywhere on the right-hand side.

So, with him also looking sharp in pre-season, Allegri’s wishes were only further cemented. However, once again, there is now interest forming in the winger.
Premier League interest
Roma’s pursuit of Saelemaekers has gone really quiet, understandably so given his recent comments about wanting to win with Milan. Though it has not stopped other parties from taking an interest.
As MilanNews write, Aston Villa have an interest in the winger, and have come forward to contact the Rossoneri about his situation. It is only in the early stages, but there is already a belief that an ‘official offer’ could be submitted in the next few days.
Neither party is unhappy with the situation as it currently is, so it is difficult to see how things could play out in the Villains’ favour. There is nothing suggested about the idea from Villa just yet, so it may be a permanent offer or even a loan. It remains to be seen, especially with recent talks of a renewal.
Naturally after his Roma form with 7 goals and 7 assists (correct me if I’m wrong) and his preseason form, kind of expected. But I don’t think we will sell him. He stated clearly he wants to stay here.
€35m with premier league tax €42m payable in 1 payment, boost the ego of Salesmeekers, he thrives when his confidence is high
No.
Please don’t. Saelemaekers > Chuk + Okafor. His work rate is superb and implements better in Allegris system.
50M sounds ok for him. If someone offers it great,
if not also great.
Allegri wants to keep him (as he should), what does the management want to do?
You need guys that work and run and close people down on the team. In the scudetto year that was pretty much all he did and he did it well.
Now he’s also more polished offensively and can score and create as well. He’s a good piece to have.
Everyone has their price but no need to unload him unless the valuation is met. Rather sell Chuk.
If this is the first time in years when a sufficient offer of 25+ million comes in, that is an easy sell.
we will give you Chukwueze for 10-15M instead…
50m for duo chukwueze + saladmakers, furlani would be smile.
no way for less than 50m, he’s our last Grinta, he’s not a Star but he can play everywhere, no complains, standing brave even in everybody againts him situation, remind me of Ambro mentality
Chukweze has no brain
Agree.. his mentality is great like ambrosini.
sell chuk and okafor. Keep saelemakers.
It would be a mistake to sell him
If they sell Lord salad maker! War will start to! They should not even try it.
What we paid for Jashari + 3m.
We’d be crazy not to deal for 3x market value. That said, he’s a valuable piece of the puzzle for Milan.
He just tendered transfer request. Villa offered 9M per season contract
For real?
I doubt it, no one relevant mentions that.
Take the money and run
Take Chukwueze the one-trick pony instead.
I reckon Aston Villa liked what they saw from the Saladmaker v Liverpool in preseason.
If EPL clubs coming with huge offer 30-40m, I think furlani will open the table to discuss
Hope he stays. I always thought he was good enough for the Milan squad.
Villa will coming with 40m pound offer
