On the first day of training camp at Milanello, Alexis Saelemaekers told the club’s official channels that he had returned to Milan to stay. And so it turned out, because after two consecutive loans at Bologna and Roma, the Belgian became convinced he could prove himself in this new Rossoneri era.
Allegri values Saelemaekers highly, especially his versatility and work ethic, which has already seen him play two different roles in as many league matches. And who knows if over the course of the season the Belgian will add more to that list, confirming himself as “Max’s extra man,” as headlined this morning by Corriere dello Sport today.
