Roma confident in keeping Alexis Saelemaekers on permanent basis | OneFootball

Alexis Saelemaekers is becoming a key piece in Ranieri’s arsenal.

His performances are convincing and Roma seem determined to buy him from Milan.

Arriving on loan in the summer, the Belgian is carving out an important role for himself on the right flank, causing problems for opposing defenses and adding depth to Roma’s maneuvers.

Sporting director Florent Ghisolfi is working to close the deal, but Milan prefer to wait.

The Rossoneri want to evaluate the options until the end of the season, aware that Saelemaekers could also be useful to them in the future.

Despite this, Il Messaggero writes, Roma is confident of being able to complete the player’s permanent signing.

Tammy Abraham, recovering from a long injury, is unlikely to be included in the deal, even if his name has been circulated in some rumors.

With the derby behind him and Ranieri’s trust, Saelemaekers is aiming to start the second half of the season in the best possible way, knowing that his future could still be tinged with Giallorossi colors.
