Not everything is bad news for AC Milan. After Brahim Diaz tested positive for COVID-19, the Italian side announced on social media the contract extension of Alexis Saelemaekers, who signed a new deal until 2026.
His previous contract expired in 2024, but this new deal is a price to his great performances ever since he arrived at San Siro.
Anderlecht loaned him out to AC Milan back in the 2019-20 season. He had some great performances and played a total of 15 games, so AC Milan decided to buy him.
He played 40 games in the 2020-21 season, and currently, he has been a starter in seven of the last 9 games. The winger has become one of Pioli's key pieces.
