Bologna, Alexis Saelemaekers will not be redeemed: the Belgian returns to Milan and Italiano has already requested Kouame to replace him.
In a short period, Alexis Saelemaekers has gone from being a certainty to finding himself out the door with bags in hand.
Bologna will not redeem him from Milan.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, this decision marks a significant change in the club’s plans.
The Belgian winger is now set to return to his parent club, AC Milan.
Vincenzo Italiano, the manager, has already identified his replacement.
“I’ve asked for Kouame to step in,” Italiano was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
This move highlights the swift decisions clubs must make in the transfer market.
Saelemaekers had initially shown promise but ultimately failed to secure a permanent spot in Bologna’s squad.
The focus now shifts to Kouame, who is expected to bring fresh energy to the team.
The football world will be watching closely to see how these changes impact both Bologna and Milan in the coming season.
