Since he arrived at Milan in 2020, Saelemaekers has played as a right-back, a right midfielder, a right-winger and a left-winger. In short, he’s a versatile player and this will come into use if he were to stay at the club.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Stefano Pioli considers Saelemaekers a serious option for the right-back position. Chukwueze will start most games on the right side of the attack and Saelemaekers could alternate when needed, both with the Nigerian and the starting right-back.
Of course, Milan could also sell the Belgian as some offers are expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Certainly, if he stays, it will be a tough battle to get playing time as both Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi are ahead for the right-back role, while Christian Pulisic is the second choice for the right flank.
