MN: Decisive hours upcoming in De Ketelaere saga – why Milan remain optimistic

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan do not consider the negotiations to bring Charles De Ketelaere to the Rossoneri to be over, according to a report.

MilanNews reports how Milan and Club Brugge have been negotiating for weeks now and over the last few days no real progress has arrived. Every hour could be the right time, every phone call could be the right one and every meeting could be the one that unlocks things.

Yesterday at the Splendid Hotel in Lugano, Switzerland, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara met the management of the Belgian club, but afterwards it emerged that neither have budged in their stance at all.

Club Brugge initially asked for €40m and lowered that to €35m, and Milan made a couple of exploratory offers before coming to €32-33m including bonuses, yet this has not been accepted and a deadlock has emerged because neither side wants to take a step towards the other.

De Ketelaere for his part already has an agreement with Milan, he wants to join the Rossoneri and is pushing for the positive outcome of the negotiations, and there is still trust from all parties that it can be done.

  1. If this deal does not go through because of 1-2 mill euros, it will be a momentuous scandal. I cannot see that happen.

  2. If they haven’t given up yet, it means they consider him a really needed backup. Come on guys.. it’s time for something concrete!

  3. If CdK want to lower the salary demand from 2.5 millions per year to 2 millions per year, it can be reallocated for the transfer. Follow the example of Tonali…

    1. Nah tbf bro 2.5 in this day and age is already considered a little, so I already respect him but yea if he did that it would definitely make its way it every milanisti’s heart

    2. If cdk really want milan move, he sould threaten bruge not to renew and go to milan for free at the end of his contract. Bruge manager is playing hard because has leeds alternative

  4. Going to One Month now just one deal not completed…Milan need to Spend on this Transfer Summer going on cos we have more than 2 competition to play this coming season

  5. Guyz, i really don’t think milan have the money to reinforce the team.i see no chance of competing this season.we need more in attacking pls

  6. Maybe later CDK pay himself that 2m euro different like adel tarabt in past or like tonali lower his salary to 2m euro nett for 5 season contract like tonali lower his salary to make way easy to AC Milan
