Alexis Saelemaekers was born on 27 June 1999 (age 27) and is a Belgium international right winger. He came through at Anderlecht before a loan move to AC Milan took him into a much bigger league while he was still developing, and that switch soon became the central move of his career.
Milan is where the bulk of his work has been done. Across seven seasons with the club, he has made 150 league appearances and scored nine league goals, usually operating from the right rather than as a headline act. His squad number is 56, and Transfermarkt values him at around £17m.
His most productive league campaign came away from Milan, at Roma in 2024-25, when he scored seven times in 22 appearances. That spell mattered, not because it replaced Milan as the main reference point in his career, but because it gave him a sharper attacking return than he had usually produced at San Siro.
In 2026-27 he has made three Serie A appearances and one in the Supercoppa for AC Milan. He has also been involved for Belgium, playing four times at the World Cup and scoring once, as well as making seven appearances in European World Cup qualifying, again with one goal.
Saelemaekers’ career has been shaped chiefly by AC Milan, with loans adding useful turns rather than changing the story. He remains an established Belgian wide player with a substantial Serie A record behind him.
