MN: Juventus enquire about Saelemaekers – the response from Milan

3 hours ago 43

Juventus are looking to strengthen in wide areas and they have asked AC Milan about Alexis Saelemaekers, a report claims.

According to MilanNews, Saelemaekers will start tomorrow against Cremonese but ‘is waiting to see’ if he’ll be a key player for Massimiliano Allegri’s side or if he risks being a potential alternative, which leads to a bit of uncertainty. Based on preseason, though, he is a crucial man.

A call from Juventus

There are no ongoing negotiations, but Juventus directors Comolli and Chiellini have been exploring an alternative to Nahuel Molina, who Atlético Madrid seem to be not allowing to leave at the moment.

Juventus are currently evaluating other names and Saelemaekers is among them, as someone who can play on the right side. It remains to be seen whether Juve will decide to make an official offer to Milan, but the asking price would be very high.

The directors would in fact ask for at least €25-28m in order to come to the negotiation table. However, with just nine days left before the transfer window closes, it may take a bid of an even higher amount.

The same can be said for Atalanta’s interest in Yunus Musah. For the former Valencia man, the terms are clear: either they reach €30m when adding the fixed part to easy bonuses, or they won’t even sit down at the table.
