Reports from France suggest that Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille are interested in the idea of signing Milan wide-man Alexis Saelemaekers before the close of the summer transfer window. 

According to recent reports, the French heavyweights would be open to the idea of signing Saelemakers on loan with an option to buy at a later date. 

The 24-year-old is part of a small group of current Milan players thought not to be in Stefano Pioli’s plans for the upcoming season. 

Along with the likes of Mattia Caldara, Fode Ballo-Toure and Divock Origi, Saelemaekers was not included in the squad for the Rossoneri’s first game of the 2023-24 Serie A season against Bologna on Monday evening. 

The Belgian, who has 11 caps for his country, was also handed three substitute appearances during Milan’s pre-season friendlies this summer. 

Having originally moved to San Siro on loan with an option to buy in January 2020, Saelemakers has gone on to make 111 Serie A appearances, contributing with six goals in the league. His contract will expire in the summer of 2026.
