Napoli’s new coach, Antonio Conte, is reportedly keen on signing Alexis Saelemaekers, impressed by his performances during his loan spell at Bologna in the 2023-24 season.

According to TMW, Conte sees the 25-year-old Belgian as a valuable addition for the upcoming Serie A campaign.

Alexis Saelemaekers joined AC Milan in 2020 but struggled for game time under Stefano Pioli, leading to a loan move to Bologna, where he scored four goals in 30 league appearances.

Despite Bologna considering a permanent move, they re-evaluated their options after a managerial change.

Saelemaekers has also been strongly linked with a move to Leicester, Ipswich and Nottingham in recent weeks.
