The two names with the most intense speculation related to Milan’s market are Charles De Ketelaere and Renato Sanches, with the management holding on to hope of signing both.
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) report this morning, there are frenetic contacts between Milan and Club Brugge over De Ketelaere, with the Rossoneri aiming to close as soon as possible and then concentrate their forces elsewhere.

The visit of the Belgian’s agent Tom De Mul on Wednesday afternoon saw an agreement struck on the basis of €2m net per season plus bonuses for five years, but Brugge must be convinced.
Despite De Ketelaere wanting Milan and asking to play in the Champions League, Leeds have offered €35m so a higher bid is needed. Jungdal or Roback could be used as counterparts, and bonuses could also be used.
Meanwhile, Renato Sanches seems set to join PSG but no offer has arrived from them and Milan therefore hope to be able to reopen dialogues with the player and his entourage. Lille do not want to lose the Portuguese midfielder on a free in 2023 and the player himself does not want to wait too long, so a decision could come soon.
How can he be “seem set to join PSG” when they haven’t even tabled a bud or agreed terms with him?
