Alexis Saelemaekers was given an award at Milanello by Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara in front of the squad for reaching 100 appearances for AC Milan.

During the 2-0 victory at home against Atalanta on Sunday, Saelemaekers reached the landmark of 100 games with the Rossoneri since joining from Anderlecht. Paolo Maldini presented the award to the Belgian, and amid the speculation that the Belgian could depart this summer he sent a message.

“We are here to celebrate the hundredth appearance of Alexis, who began his adventure with Milan on February 2, 2020 with Verona. A great achievement, which is the beginning of a long career here with us. Bravo Alexis,” he said.

Saelemaekers responded: “Thank you very much, thank you all. This Sunday is the last battle, we hope to win this Scudetto.”
