"Saelemaekers is giving more than his all, and that's precisely the quality Allegri appreciates most. After loan spells at Bologna and Roma - with the support of Claudio Ranieri who was crucial to his development with the latter - he returned to Milan more mature. Not only that, but he came back with the knowledge that he could play a leading role in the new chessboard that Allegri has designed, able to be that interchangeable pawn depending on the coach's interpretation of the game."
"Intelligence, passion, heart and sacrifice: Saelemaekers is popular because he perfectly embodies what it means to 'sweat for the shirt'. He doesn't care too much about sometimes superfluous aesthetics, clearly preferring the consistency that is paying off in the long run. The more miles he racks up, the more difficult it becomes for Allegri to remove him from the pitch. Regardless of his role or his opponent, Saelemaekers' technical and mental diktat remains unchanged: he's ready to do anything for his club,"
Alexis Saelemaekers combines versatility, high energy, patience, and a strong work ethic that allow him to perform multiple roles for AC Milan under Massimiliano Allegri. Roma pursued a permanent move, but Allegri wanted to keep him because of those attributes. Saelemaekers declared his love for Milan and committed to giving his all on the pitch while contract decisions remain with the club. Loan spells at Bologna and Roma, with Claudio Ranieri's support at Roma, fostered his maturity and tactical adaptability. He prioritizes consistency and sacrifice, becoming increasingly difficult for Allegri to replace during matches.
