As Charles De Ketelaere writes, De Ketelaere’s first year at Milan was a disappointment from every point of view as he failed to score a single goal and by the end of the campaign he appeared to have mentally checked out.
The Belgian seemed to suffer more and more from the pressure of the €35m financial outlay that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara made to sign him from Club Brugge, while the struggled to make the step up to Serie A and was scarcely used by the end of the season.
For these reasons, the new management directed by the Furlani-Moncada-D’Ottavio trio has decided that the 22-year-old is no longer a part of the Rossoneri project. His latest appearances in pre-season friendlies on the US tour do nothing but confirm the decision taken by Milan.
A permanent sale would be preferred but €28-30m are needed to avoid a loss in the accounts after on year of amortisation. PSV Eindhoven are keen but they can only do a loan and cannot pay the asking price, so now reflections are taking place.
PSV putting pressure on Milan to unlock the deal and sign the man they have identified as the replacement for Xavi Simons, who returned to PSG and was loaned to RB Leipzig by the Parisians.
