One of the first Milan players Massimiliano Allegri locked in when he signed for the club was Alexis Saelemaekers, who at the time was still a Roma player. The Belgian spent two seasons on loan at Bologna and Roma. Bologna, in a surprise move, did not redeem him. Roma only took him on a dry loan and then saw the door shut in their face when Milan brought him back, with the player far more mature in both technique and mentality.
He fits Allegri’s football perfectly, and this is why the coach pushed to keep him before anyone else. His performances have been strong so far, and this opens the path for a contract renewal, as relayed via Milannews.it. He has one and a half years left on his deal, until June 2027. The club held early talks with his entourage in recent weeks, although the process has not reached its decisive phase. All sides have clear intentions, and the feeling is that spring will be the right moment to complete the renewal.
