Alexis Saelemaekers came through at Anderlecht before AC Milan took him to Italy on loan in 2020, a move that soon became permanent. That early spell at San Siro set the shape of his career: useful, adaptable, rarely the headline act, but trusted often enough to build a proper body of work.
Milan is the club around which his career is built. Across seven seasons he has made 151 league appearances and scored nine league goals, numbers that point to a player valued more for balance, running and tactical usefulness than for obvious glamour. There are worse ways to make a living at that level.
His loan spells away from Milan added a bit more definition. The most productive league season of his career came at Roma in 2024-25, when he scored seven goals in 22 appearances, a sharper return than his usual output and a reminder that his game is not purely functional.
His market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt. Saelemaekers’ career has been shaped above all by AC Milan, with loans elsewhere helping round out a steady, established profile in Italian football.
