In the past few months, the stories about Saelemaekers and his future have been far away from Milan, making a return look near impossible. Whilst a brief moment to assess options was expected, it seemed more likely that he would return and leave than stay to play a part.
However, with AS Roma unable to negotiate a deal with Igli Tare for the Belgian’s purchase, there is a chance he could play for Milan next season. After all, he provides a versatile profile that Massimiliano Allegri could utilise.
Nevertheless, the winger has not spoken to the new Rossoneri coach yet, as he revealed in a press conference with Belgium earlier today, and his words to the press have been relayed by Milan News.
“I’m coming off a good season, I’m very happy. My loan at Roma has ended. We’ll see what happens, it’s up to me to make the right choices for the rest of my career. I haven’t had any contact with Massimiliano Allegri yet.
“Staying at Milan is an option. I feel good at this club. I have to find a project that gives me space. This season was a turning point for me. I had never had such a serious injury. The club trusted me, I was able to play straight away.
“They helped me get back to my level. I managed to get some good statistics. I will try to take advantage of that in the coming months.”
