It has seemed more likely than not that AC Milan would retain Alexis Saelemaekers this season. However, there could be a shift.
Like Paulo Fonseca last summer, Massimiliano Allegri started the summer wanting to keep Saelemaekers thanks to the possibilities that he provided. A versatile winger, the Belgian is capable of playing anywhere on the right-hand side.
So, with him also looking sharp in pre-season, Allegri’s wishes were only further cemented. However, once again, there is now interest forming in the winger.
Premier League interest
Roma’s pursuit of Saelemaekers has gone really quiet, understandably so given his recent comments about wanting to win with Milan. Though it has not stopped other parties from taking an interest.
As MilanNews write, Aston Villa have an interest in the winger, and have come forward to contact the Rossoneri about his situation. It is only in the early stages, but there is already a belief that an ‘official offer’ could be submitted in the next few days.
Neither party is unhappy with the situation as it currently is, so it is difficult to see how things could play out in the Villains’ favour. There is nothing suggested about the idea from Villa just yet, so it may be a permanent offer or even a loan. It remains to be seen, especially with recent talks of a renewal.
