From Milan the yes of Saelemaekers
Because with just a few hours to go before the market closes, the operation is too convenient for both sports directors to backtrack and keep their respective “problems”.”. In Trigoria, the agreement with Saelemaekers was reached in a short time and there will be no hitches related to the Belgian’s salary. The winger earns 1.3 million euros at Milan and in the capital he would see his salary almost double, plus he will be guaranteed a starting spot in a formation, 4-3-3, that sees only El Shaarawy on the left as a concrete alternative (Zalewski is on his way out and has disappointed) and a coach who favors his technical characteristics. In short, having learned of Roma’s possible interest, already at the beginning of August, Alexis immediately appreciated the destination. Furthermore, even in the capital there is a story of friendship behind the deal. During his time in the Anderlecht youth team, Saelemaekers met Svilar: the two were teammates for several seasons, until the goalkeeper moved to Benfica in 2017, while the striker remained in Belgium. Despite their professional paths having separated, the two have remained very close since that shared experience. Stories that intertwine, bonds that are created and strengthened, knots that are untied. Roma and Milan will continue to work this morning on a deal that no one wants to let fall through.
