For Alexis Saelemaekers, this season is that of a new challenge, he who has agreed to join Roma on loan.
Not part of the plans in Milan, the former Anderlecht player joined the Italian capital and while the Giallorossi are having a complicated season, the Belgian is one of those who leaves the best impression. The Italian press also explains that Roma’s idea is to keep him next season.
Promote Saelemaekers?
To sign the 25-year-old player permanently, however, you will have to put your hand in your pocket and we are currently talking about a sum of between 15 and 18 million euros to convince the Rossoneri leaders to let a player go. who was recruited for just over 7.5 million from Anderlecht.
The sporting director of Roma, Florent Ghisolfi, would have avoided having to take out this sum of money with the idea of carrying out an exchange. If Milan give Saelemaekers, they get Bryan Cristante in return.
Towards an exchange?
The Italian has seen his value drop quite sharply in recent times and is now only worth 12 million euros. An agreement could therefore be found between the different parties but for the moment we are only at the hypothesis stage and nothing has yet been signed.
What is certain is that Saelemaekers proves that he has the level for Serie A, including with a team which is not doing exceptionally well but which is restructuring and which can aim for a place in the sub-top of one of the best championships in Europe.
Already very good during his loan to Bologna, Saelemaekers is a sure bet in the championship, a player who does his job even if it is without exuberance and without particular flashes.
