Club Brugge won 3-2 against Genk this afternoon to begin their league season with a victory, and Hoefkens spoke about the future of De Ketelaere, who was excluded from the squad at his request as per Calciomercato.com.
“I’ll do anything for him… but it’s all a little too much for Charles,” he said.
It comes after Gianluca Di Marzio reported in Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) that the mother of De Ketelaere has already been to Milan to look for a house for her son ahead of a potential move.
Milan are working to bridge the gap between their offer and the demands of Brugge, but the Belgian champions are still resisting. Vincent Mannaert – the general manager of Brugge – continues to ask for at least €5-6m more than the current offer of the Rossoneri, who believe they have done their utmost to sign him.
