Alexis Saelemaekers has been reborn under Claudio Ranieri, and Roma seem to want to resolve any doubts about his future ahead of time.

According to Il Tempo (via Calciomercato.com), this could be an important week in determining where Saelemaekers will play beyond this season. His agent Gordon Stipic has arrived in Milano to talk with Milan and with Roma about making his loan a permanent deal.

Having arrived in the capital last summer in exchange for Tammy Abraham going on a dry loan the other way, the former Anderlecht player has become a key player for Ranieri. This season he has played 13 games and has racked up four goals and three assists, from a new wing-back position.

Roma director Florent Ghisolfi is aware that the summer chat with Geoffrey Moncada about a possible buy-out figure of €15m is only the starting point. The two clubs will talk, with the desire to reach a solution that can satisfy all parties.

Saelemaekers, whose contract with Milan expires in 2027, is happy at Roma and would not be averse to continuing his adventure in Giallorossi. The doors are closed at Milan and to date there are no different signals, not even with Sergio Conceicao having taken over.
 
The AC Milan directors have embarked on a trip to Germany, and reports have emerged regarding the players they might be speaking about.

We have had confirmation through our sources that Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani flew to Germany, specifically Düsseldorf, on Wednesday. While the official line is that it wasn’t mercato-related, it would be naive to presume that deals aren’t being spoken about.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport speaks about Milan having an interest in Kyle Walker and how either one of Fikayo Tomori or Strahinja Pavlovic could leave the club as a result. If Walker were not to arrive, though, it seems an alternative is being worked on.

Walker is a profile that Conceiçao would appreciate, and he will obviously have to have his say. The Portuguese coach will be consulted again today, when a meeting between the directors and the coach is expected regarding the transfer window.

If Conceiçao also confirmed the need to sign a central defender then Jonathan Tah could be looked into, whose contract expires in June. It is inevitable that he will have demands considering the interest, including from Italy, while the Rossoneri have been linked before.

A lot of topics within football have layers of nuance, but sometimes it is as simple as a team lacking a potent goal scorer, and that applies to AC Milan.

As MilanNews write, against Como it was a defender (Theo Hernandez) and a winger who hadn’t scored in the league for two months (Rafael Leao) who engineered the comeback. Looking at the numbers – and the Cagliari game before – you can see how a finisher is lacking.

The top scorers in Serie A for Milan after 20 games are Alvaro Morata, Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders with five goals apiece. The American and the Dutchman are doing well given their positions, but the Spaniard – who arrived to replace Olivier Giroud – should be on more.

A comparison with the top league scorers for other Serie A club shows Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui on 13 goals, Fiorentina’s Moise Kean on 11, Inter’s Marcus Thuram on 12 and Napoli’s Romelu Lukaku on 7. Even Empoli’s Simone Esponsito (8) and Udinese Lorenzo Lucca (7) have more.

Only Monza and Parma have their top scorer with fewer goals than Milan’s (4), while Cagliari, Torino and Venezia are at the same level as the Rossoneri, with the Granata however having the alibi of the serious injury to Duvan Zapata.

Another key to understanding the issue is the xG (Expected Goals, i.e. the quality of chances created) ranking compared to the goals actually scored. According to Understat, Milan have an xG of 35.23, third in the league behind only Inter and Atalanta.
 
Milan will focus on a fullback in the summer once Florenzi and Calabria leave — maybe Jimenez as primary contender with Royal for RB while Milan get a new backup LB or maybe Milan gets another new RB
 
The Curva Sud announce that they will not be in Zagreb for Milan's match 📢❌
 
@Fil_Biafora: #Saelemaekers' agent is currently in Milan. An appointment is scheduled to negotiate the Belgian's definitive transfer to Rome.
 
Calciomercato | @acmilan , for Jovic there is also the interest of Sevilla in addition to that of Monaco
 
@JacobsBen: "Rashford's agent is currently in Milan, the player wants to join AC Milan! The club will have to make a choice, either sign Walker or Rashford."
 
Atalanta is also interested in the Italian talent Jacopo Sardo from Saarbrücken who Milan is already targeting for the Under 23s. @Jadegiacalone
 
Milan is taking his time on the long-awaited reinforcement in midfield. Ricci almost made it, given Cairo 's desire to keep him until June.

The most concrete plan B for the Rossoneri remains Belhayane of Verona . Developments expected at the end of January, a few days before the closure
 
Moncada and Furlani in Dusseldorf: we confirm that it is true. The official version is that there would be no market commitments. But I don't believe it. We will try to find out. Thinking of the nearby teams of medium-high level there are: Leverkusen, Dortmund, Gladbach and Holland

Andreas Jungdal is currently in Belgium to complete a loan move from Cremonese to Westerlo. The deal includes a buy-option worth under €1m. In case the option is triggered, AC Milan will earn 15% of the fee as a sell-on clause. 🇩🇰 #KVCWesterlo #ACMilan
 
"We know that Tomori's position is not so firm in saying that on February 4th he will be at Milan. It will depend on the type of offers, conditional loans will not be accepted, but only with obligation. However, a valid alternative must be presented to Conceicao"
