AC Milan are evaluating the possibility of a swap deal with AS Roma that would see Polish winger Nicola Zalewksi join the club.
As reported by Il Romanista, Milan could try and swap Alexis Saelemaekers for Zalewski in the final week of the market in order to get a more versatile wide player into the squad.
An agreement would need to be found on the adjustment of salaries but the idea certainly exists, with Roma needing to quickly change their plans after Paulo Dybala’s decision to stay at the club.
Saelemaekers has had a very unusual summer with the Rossoneri was the initial assumption was that he would join Bologna permanently after a successful loan spell.
When the Rossoblu looked elsewhere, the new assumption as that he would be quickly sold elsewhere. He has ended up being a key part of the team under Paulo Fonseca in pre-season and now it would not be a surprise if he played a regular role during the season.
Despite all of that, Milan would still be willing to let him go if the right opportunity arose and a swap deal with Roma for Zalewski could be what is needed.
Milan’s main focus is still signing Manu Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach.
