Saelemaekers had a very positive second half of the season at Roma under Claudio Ranieri, making a return seem unlikely. Most of the chatter was about the loan becoming permanent, regardless of what happened with Tammy Abraham.
However, with 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.
Saelemaekers unsure
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) write this morning, Saelemaekers will return to Milan as things stand but he does not know whether to unpack his suitcases or not. He spoke about his future yesterday without giving a precise indication, because he still doesn’t know.
Roma would have liked to keep him but do not want to spend more than €10m, while the Rossoneri are asking for at least double. There is interest from Eintracht Frankfurt , but the option of him remaining at Milan remains.
To have any certainties, according to the Roman newspaper, we will therefore have to wait until the new head coach Massimiliano Allegri evaluates him in the preseason preparations.
