CM: Milan hold new summit with De Ketelaere’s agents – agreement approaching

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are working hard on the signing of Charles De Ketelaere and great progress has been made over the last few days. In fact, an agreement is approaching as both parties are keen on making the deal happen.

Stefano Pioli has asked the management to bring in a playmaker ahead of the 2022/23 season and De Ketelaere seems to be the primary target. Given his talent and age, he fits the Milan project perfectly.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan had a new summit with the player’s agents today and an agreement is approaching on the personal terms. Furthermore, the agents have made it clear that they also want to accelerate the agreement with Club Brugge.

Milan’s first offer of €20m was deemed too low, as expected, but they will soon present a new one and it will include technical counterparts. Emil Roback and Andreas Jungdal have been mentioned, and this could get the Belgian side to accept the deal.

In any case, Milan have no intention of giving up on De Ketelaere and the player himself wants the move as well.

  1. Schira already knows how that meeting went: “ACMilan have reached an agreement in principle with Charles DeKeteleare’s agent (T. De Mul) for a contract until 2027 with a salary of €2,5M/year. Now Rossoneri will work to try to close the deal with ClubBrugge. CDK prefers Milan’s bid to Leeds and Leicester.”

    1. Lol. You forgot to add “Club Brugge have no intention of selling CDK for less than 35M as he is under contract for another 3 seasons and once informed of the cost of CDK, Milan are forced to look elsewhere”

      1. Club Brugge only want 30M, unlike Lille, they are not in financial crisis, they don’t need to raise money so they repsect CDK’s decision to reject Leeds.

        1. Perhaps he hasn’t said that but he wrote on his twitter account. Schira knows his sh*t. Unlike people here who have learned everything from FM.

  2. Too much story and waste of time
    Milan management are always stingy
    We just won the championship and should consolidate with our team and bring new fresh legs
    Other opponents are buying new good players with experience and when we play against them we will be expecting miracles to happen
    We need to close some of these forever forecasting and imagination since last year
    They new players need time to play together with the new players

  3. We already have a pretty strong team, with Origi coming, Adli who’s been brilliant and Pobega who was excellent too we aren’t out of our depth, also, it would be stupid to just throw money around like a crazy person, go look at Manchester United and what throwing millions around gets you, and how Liverpool spent 9m on Andy Robertson, 6m on Fabinho, Matip on a free, or do u want us to spend 80m on signing trash and finishing outside of the top 4, let me remind you that we won the league last season, De Ketelaere is a beast of a player, so he’s worth the wait, or would you rather have trash like Pogba and Lukaku who have the loyalty and work ethic of two Persian cats. Think before you open your mouth.

    1. Nobody said we should throw money round like a crazy person lol. M&M would never do that even if they had a decent budget to play with. But if we cannot afford to spend 30M on a young promising dynamic player for a position of need, we will never compete with Europe’s best IMO. 30M is nothing in todays market unfortunately. You have to spend about 80-100M per season to compete with the CL teams. That’s a fact. We did it last season for the league – amazing. But don’t expect same this season without some significant signings – esp after our rivals have strengthened. We cannot continue to lose players without adequate replacements AND try to improve. Hope we can pick up CDK, Ziyech, Sanches, CB and backup LB. But if our budget is really only 40M – we are in trouble

      1. Bo you are a baby fan and wondered what you know
        Milan discovered players from South America but other clubs in Europe bought them
        Ur brain is limited only to the seria A while you forget Milan has many competitions to play
        Well most of these new generation fans never knew Milan pedigree isn’t seria A but the champions league where we are power house
        So read and know who is Milan just don’t come and write this garbage here
        Milan is bigger than what u know

      2. Did Milan won Scudetto buy spashing money buying pricey player? no right? Did you know Kalulu before this? Theo, Maignan, Tomori, Tonali, Leao? Bet you dont know all of them, did they cost alot? i bet you are the person who crying when they let Donnarumma go and criticise Maldini for buying Maignan or Kalulu, this is not Fifa game kid. Use your brain in the market not splashing money without thinking example Man Utd. Ever heard that team? Name me those superstar overrated player there, did they won anything? no. Now go cheer Man Utd, thats more like your time to cheer.

      3. €30 million is a lot when a club fails FFP and have a budget of €50 million. If you think a fraud like Sanches is the answer, then you have a lot to learn. Building relationships with a club like Milan is far more important to Brugge than dealing with Leeds or Leicester. If there’s only a €5 million difference, I’m sure it’ll work out. As for Inter and Juve, despite their finances, they keep selling players for millions, we keep losing our best players on free transfers. Let them sign mercenaries, who cares?

    2. 6m for fabinho ? are u drunk dude ?
      ONLY robertson came for just penny !
      Liverpool almost spent 254M in the last 3 season according to transfermarkt

    3. I am offended by the comparison between Lukaku and two persian cats. Cats at least are cute and way more loyal than Romelu

    4. Spot on thats a Rossonerri for you, we are the champion, did we won with overprice player? no, we won with undervalue player that Milan bought and value them in our club and make them a beast. Then we won Scudetto like that. Milan is the youngest team that ever won Scudetto with less known player but perfect project prospects and idea. Why should Milan change that. Oh and people said its luck, well in football theres luck but we know Inter was trying to play dirty Referee robbed Milan and so on. Yet Milan won. This Scudetto one of the best. Im 36 years old. Been Milan Fan till this day i watch every game i can. From the darkest day till now. Its the best feelings.

  4. But Calciomercato is too late with their new here. Nicholo Schira, the best source out there, together with Romano and DiMarzio (better even perhaps?), has already filled in the details. This is not speculation. For me this borders on certainty. Whether we get him or not in the end, is still an open question.

  5. If Milan refuses to sign quality players in this mercato,we’re still going to finish bottom of our UCL group stages. Go and get players like Draxler,Dybala,Ziyech,Scammaca or Raspadori. Our management are too stingy 😒.

    1. Messias perform better than Ziyech in UCL last season. Messias only need 115 minutes to get a goal and an assist, Ziyech need 444 minutes to get a goal and 2 assist despite easier opponents.

  6. Well your man Schira said Brugge is unlikely to let him go for less than 35M.

    But perhaps if we throw in our 2 primavera players, then Brugge will accept less cash from us. Maybe that is what Milan will offer. Just because we and CDK’s agent have come to agreement on his personal terms, doesn’t mean Brugge will agree. It depends on how much more Leicester or Leeds may offer. Hopefully Leeds won’t be looking to add more players after arrival of Sinisterra from Feyenoord and Tyler Adams from Leipzig…

  7. That is of course correct. 30 mill euros + bonuses/percentage of resale/player exchange, will problably be the solution that Milan will seek.

  8. I think 25 mil plus bonuses is the neighborhood Milan should be targeting. He’s a good young player but hasn’t played in a major league.
    I know 5 million doesn’t seem like a lot but a few million here and there adds up quickly.

  9. Everyone on here said that if we didn’t sign anyone in January our title hopes were finished yet we won the league.

    Everyone also forgets that we spent close to $80mil last season for Tonali, Tomori, Messias (loan), Bakayoko (loan), Adli, Lazetic

    Maybe have a bit of faith and patience in the management before we start jumping up and down claiming the world is coming to an end.

    I am very confident we will get CDK and Ziyech but if we don’t, i am even more confident we will get the right additions to strengthen our squad to make us competitive.

    Success doesn’t come overnight no matter how much you spend. Liverpool took 5 years or so before winning anything, Man city are still chasing the champions league but also took 5 years before winning anything and PSG are still chasing the chapions league after spending ridiculous money.

  10. The guy will join us and so ‘there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth’ between the inveterate ‘doom & gloom’ crowd, cause this freaks seems to HATE the club.

    1. They are just jealous because Milan won without splashing money alot.. Unlike their team buying without brain yet won non. Sad.. Jealously and Fake Fan at its best.

  11. its all about salary structure guys. Know it well did play by myselfe until 23 then body did no longer cooperate. U need to understand what a boy group is claiming when a baka make vacation in Milanelo for more then 5mio, and you need to understand the Elliot is of course claiming, if that happende once again you are out M&M – so pressuere is huge.

    But, we really need to relieve Leao, we have so less impact on RW that he musst play often against 3 defenders. And when Leo is injured we have a problem.
