There is a whole world of AC Milan players away from the team’s training ground, at least for now. Another side of Milan, the loaned players, have had a season full of ups and downs. From Charles De Ketelaere and Alexis Saelemaekers, excelling at Atalanta and Bologna, to Divock Origi and Fode Ballo-Touré, struggling in England with Nottingham Forest and Fulham. Uncertainty looms over their future.
Among the loaned players, those closer to AC Milan’s plans are the ones remaining in Serie A. De Ketelaere has shone at Atalanta, scoring 14 goals and 9 assists in 47 appearances. Saelemaekers has been a key player for Bologna with 4 goals and 3 assists in 30 games. Both players’ redemption seems likely, with potential permanent transfers in discussion.
Down in Serie B, there are three players, including Marco Nasti at Bari who recently scored in a 1-1 match against Ternana in the playout first leg. Chaka Traoré, now at Palermo, is in the playoffs after a January move. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Devis Vasquez cut his loan short at Sheffield Wednesday to play for Ascoli in Serie B. AC Milan will assess these players’ performances to determine their future within the club. As the summer transfer window approaches, decisions will be made to align all the pieces in AC Milan’s roster for the upcoming season.
