Newcastle United are plotting a summer move for Belgian winger Alexis Saelemaekers, with AC Milan setting a €20 million price tag for the versatile wide man. After impressing on loan at AS Roma, the 24-year-old is now firmly on the radar of Eddie Howe’s ambitious Magpies.
According to Voce Giallorossa, Saelemaekers has reignited his form in Serie A, showcasing the technical flair, tactical discipline, and versatility that Howe covets. Capable of playing as a winger, wing-back or advanced midfielder, the Belgian would be a dynamic addition to Newcastle’s wide options—especially with injuries and uncertainty clouding the future of key players like Anthony Gordon.
Perfect Fit for Eddie Howe’s System
Saelemaekers isn’t just about flair—his defensive work rate and football intelligence have turned heads at St. James’ Park. Whether pressing from the front or tracking back to support his full-back, he ticks all the boxes for Howe’s high-energy system. A player who thrives in both 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 shapes, he offers the kind of tactical flexibility that can be a game-changer across domestic and European competitions.
Smart Business for a Club on the Rise
At €20 million, Newcastle view this as a low-risk, high-reward investment. Saelemaekers brings big-club experience from Milan and Roma, yet still has the potential to grow. As the Magpies gear up for another European adventure, this move signals smart, forward-thinking recruitment. If they act fast, Newcastle could land one of the summer’s most underrated signings.
