Yesterday, it was reported that Juventus’ interest in Alexis Saelemaekers has not died down, and AC Milan may need to be wary.
This summer has plateaued rather quickly. Milan were on track for a very good summer, but with a striker, with respect, of a certain level not arriving, the Rossoneri are open to questions about quality moving forward.

Someone like Dusan Vlahovic would certainly solve that. However, there are doubts about whether he can or will arrive after this weekend.
Vlahovic for Saelemaekers?
There could be a solution, though. Tuttosport, this morning, have reported that the Bianconeri want to add Saelemaekers in to a deal for Vlahovic, knowing the desire that Massimiliano Allegri has for his former striker.
At Continassa, as MilanNews relays, the Belgian is a priority, whilst the Serbian is a focus for the Rossoneri. Therefore, a swap deal could be in everyone’s best interests, despite it seemingly being two separate operations until now.
Things are complicated, though. Allegri, with his love for Vlahovic, does not want to part with Saelemaekers, or at least not with ease. So, there is an obstacle to overcome there alone. However, if it is the key to his striker, he may take it.
For this reason, the final days of the mercato will be very important, indeed.
A very stupid deal if it happens. Keep Saelemaekars and pay for Vlahovic if you have to get him, Juve will lose him for free next year, so they are not in a position with much bargaining power here
How is this even a consideration. He has been one of the best players in the squad
Juventus have a mole in the management of ACM.
Useless negotiation is about to happen…
If we are going for a Serbian it should be Metrovic. Let Juve dig themselves out of their hole..
Stupid management. Rubbish. Go to serie d and bankrupt
“Here, take this very valuable player with very little cost associated and give us someone who you desperately don’t want at your club and is a financial anchor weighing you down.”
Surely we’re not going for that. Even if Saelamaekers as an RWB doesn’t really fit Allegri’s tactical plan of the team perfectly, there must be a better way to make use of him than this?
Agree – this deal if it happens makes practically no sense on any level 🤦♂️
There’s no need to entertain this offer.
Juve are at risk of paying him €10m while simultaneously losing him for free at the end of that payment term.
An offer of 10m (Value of outstanding wages) to Juve plus the rumored 10m signing on fee for the player is a reasonable operation given these circumstances.
Worst case scenario wait it out and sign him on pre-construction in Jan.
Honestly speaking, we have useless players.Fafana, Gabian, luft-cheek.
The problem with Vlahovic being available on a free is that the Saudi’s could come in and offer crazy wages.
Yes, because Saudis are concerned about paying 10-20m to Juve now, that’s the deal breaker for them..
Honestly I Think there is too much speculation in this mercato. Saelemakers is Wanted by Juventus, Vlahovic is wanted by Milan.
The rest of the story is written by journalists who looks for correlation.
It might be true, but I highly doubt it.
I think Saelemakers is a player Allegri likes for his versatility, and with Musah probably going to Atalanta, Saelemakers becomes more important.
I think we go for Vlahovic with Cash only, if we decide to go for him.
We can gave Modric for Meckeni, Leao for Nico Gonzalez, Pulisic for Kostic, Maignan for Perin
Its JOKE but what owners we have this can happens.
This year we will be better probably 6 place at the end,that is better then 8 and we have PROFIT
FFS that old lady again. Bianconeri again. Please take double deal or triple treat deal consist of Musah, Uncle Ben, Adli, bonus included: Loftus Cheat and For Fun Nah..
It’s crazy to think people think Dusan is the savior. He scored 6 goals from open play last season in Serie A. If he was cheap, sure, but he’s way too expensive. Plus, his first touch is horrible, he’s not the hold-up profile we need. We already have Gimenez, another striker with a horrible first touch. Also, we’re giving a get out of jail free card to a rival we’ll be competing directly with for a CL spot. Napoli, Inter and Roma look good. Then, there’s Juve, Atalanta, and Como who are lurking as well.
Even Haaland and Mbappe and Vini jr, CR7, Messi and Lewa have their good and bad days.
No way to swap Sealemakers with Vlachovic! Sealemakers is the only Milan player who always plays with the Milan soul fights, run, covers, dribbles, passes. Give Juve two others instead, Fofana and Loftus Cheek, perhaps the two worse players we took over the recent years!
Saelamakers is not our best player, but he is a hardworking guy whose efforts often bring results. The goal against Cremonese was 80% his job. He can run non-stop for 90 minutes and puts a lot of pressure on the opponent’s defense line. Keep him, or become a bunch of unmotivated, expensive crew.
WTF He is only one in the team that is running, on another side Vlahovic is walking only. I think Allegri don’t like footballers to run in his tactical view))
The issue is Vlahovic’ salary, whether its a swap or a purchase, that problem doesn’t go away.
