Tuttosport: Juventus interested in Saelemaekers

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are showing increased interest in Alexis Saelemaekers, the versatile Belgian winger currently on loan at Bologna from Milan. The player has caught the attention of Juventus’ potential new manager, Thiago Motta, who has firsthand experience working with Saelemaekers at Bologna.

Saelemaekers is praised for his ability to contribute effectively in both offensive and defensive phases of the game. His versatility and adaptability make him an ideal fit for Motta’s tactical approach. The Belgian international is known for his aggressive play in open spaces, his tendency to cut inside, and his capability to shoot from the edge of the box, offering multiple solutions in attack.

Milan reportedly has no intentions of retaining Saelemaekers, whose market value is slightly over €10 million. The most likely scenario for a potential transfer to Juventus would be a loan deal with either an option or obligation to buy at a predetermined price.

Juventus’ Sporting Director, Cristiano Giuntoli, is aware of this opportunity but is also considering other options. The club’s ability to pursue Saelemaekers will largely depend on their midfield expenditures and the potential income from Dean Huijsen’s transfer. These factors will determine the actual budget available for reinforcing the squad.
