We are getting to that stage of the transfer window where bolder and bolder claims start to emerge, and the latest one involves a potential swap deal involving AC Milan and Juventus.
As reported by the newspaper Libero (via TuttoJuve), the CEO of Milan Giorgio Furlani is tasked with offloading players that Stefano Pioli has decided are not a part of his plans for the coming season.
Among those not called up for the first round of the new season was winger Alexis Saelemaekers (24), who is clearly down the pecking order after the signings of Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze.
Juventus are keen on the Belgian, and an exchange with Moise Kean (23) has been hypothesised, given the centre-forward is not considered unsellable by Massimiliano Allegri and Milan need a player in that role.
The idea teases the two managements, but Saelemaekers is also on the wish list of Spanish clubs such as Villarreal and Real Betis, as well as Marseille in France.
