AC Milan Moves to Extend Alexis Saelemaekers’ Contract Amid Interest from Other Clubs

AC Milan is in the process of finalizing a new contract for Alexis Saelemaekers in light of interest from clubs such as Aston Villa, Juventus, and Roma.

Rising Star Under Maximiliano Allegri

The 26-year-old Saelemaekers has established himself as an essential part of new head coach Maximiliano Allegri’s plans, having been a starter in all three of AC Milan’s Serie A games this season.

Development with Roma and Current Standing

Saelemaekers previously spent the last season on loan at Roma but has now secured the right wingback position in Allegri’s adopted 3-5-2 formation. Both Roma and Juventus, along with Aston Villa, had expressed interest in acquiring Saelemaekers on a permanent basis; however, all their proposals were rejected.

Contract Renewal Plans

According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, AC Milan is eager to extend his current contract, which is set to end in 2027. Discussions for a new agreement are expected to last until 2029, potentially including an option for an additional year and a salary increase.
