The 25-year-old demonstrated his skill at scoring goals from the flank by aiding his teammates score three more goals last season in addition to scoring four goals himself for the Rossoneri. With the intention of providing his squad with the necessary resources to handle the strain of the Premier League, manager Steve Cooper has set Saelemaekers as an objective. Leicester has now reportedly submitted an initial proposal, according Sportitalia, an Italian broadcaster.
Negotiations are still ongoing even if the two teams involved have not reached a consensus. It is yet unclear how much the Foxes will have to give AC Milan in exchange for them selling. Since joining the Italian powerhouse in 2020, Saelemaekers has made 140 appearances and contributed 24 goals. Saelemaekers helped Bologna qualify for the Champions League on his loan there last season.
