Schira: Milan standing firm over Saelemaekers despite Roma attempts – the offer so far | OneFootball

Alexis Saelemaekers is a really intriguing player with an interesting position. Whilst AC Milan were reluctant to keep him last summer, they are now looking to keep hold of the Belgian.

Despite requests from Paulo Fonseca, Milan decided that Saelemaekers would be better spending this season away from the club on loan at Roma. However, the winger extended his contract with the club beforehand, offering the Rossoneri more security.

Unfortunately for the Belgian, he suffered an injury in the early stages of the season, which left him sidelined for almost half of the season, but now he is flying in Rome, becoming vital to their recent rise up the table.

As a result, the Roman club have already begun to make attempts to keep the wide player at the club and discussions have taken place, but it seems the Diavolo are not willing to agree to anything just yet.

On his X, Nicolo Schira states that the Giallorossi have already made ‘swap’ bid turned down (which imaginably included Tammy Abraham or Bryan Cristante) by the Rossoneri. Instead of a swap, Milan are seeking a straight transfer of €20 million.

Although nothing has been agreed, Claudio Ranieri’s side have already got a contract on the table for the winger.
