Alexis Saelemaekers

[neymar2019]

Buying Saelemaekers , who is a versatile player who can play many different roles.

In 19 appearances for Anderlecht so far this season, he’s bagged two goals and four assists.
Eight of his league appearances have seen him play on the right, four of his outings on the left and four games in an advanced role.

Officially a Milan player until 2024, total fee paid around 7 million euros

He's a handy player and 7m is cheap. Good pickup

Made Belgium NT debut and played 90minutes with one assist, the opponent was Kessie (1 goal) and Ivory Coast

That is the thing about these guys (Saelemaekers, Hauge, Gabbia)...the growth has been exponential. Saele went from Anderlecht fans saying we overpaid for him and in total disbelief that Milan signed him, to starting for the national team and turning in MOM performances in less then a year. Really happy with the scouting network we've created. But also, it's one thing to have a scouting network and another to actually trust it and spend on the players they recommend. So for this, both the scouts and Maldini have to take credit.

I'm expecting the same growth from Hauge and Gabbia tbh. Guys like Bennacer, Kessie and Theo have already made a big step forward to where they are now considered one of the best in their position in Italy. Even in our wildest dreams we didn't expect them to become so good so soon (maybe Kessie took longer I guess and he caught a lot of heat for that). So why not these guys also?! I'd put Kalulu in this bucket as well.

Leao and Tonali ar slightly different because of their price tag and hype already, so they're expected to already be at this high level. But that's not fair to them. They should be given the same patience as the other guys.

That 7M Maldini laid out for Alexis looks very shrewd business right now.

Unfortunately price tag dictates most Fans' Patience.
Saelemackers could take 3 years to hit full stride and most would be fine with that but also be calling for Maldini's head if Leao takes 3 years.

Happy to read his form with Belgium NT.

Yeah, a good and smart transfer business from Maldini thanks to our scouts.

He still needs to improve since there are things that could be developed from him.
