AC Milan will soon have to make a decision on Charles De Ketelaere’s future and he continues to attract interest from clubs around Europe, a report claims.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) this morning, the signings of Samuel Chukwueze, Christian Pulisic and Luka Romero mean there will not be much space for De Ketelaere next season if they play with a 4-3-3 or even the 4-2-3-1.
That is why the possibility of an exit is being evaluated by the club and the player, in order for him to get consistent playing time at the age of 22, given it is a crucial period for his development.
To the various possible destinations that have been talked about in recent days such as Aston Villa in the Premier League and PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, Ligue 1 duo RC Lens and now Olympique Marseille are keen.
Next season the French duo will play in the Champions League which could therefore appeal to the former Club Brugge star given the prestige of the competition.
However, to avoid recording a capital loss, a sale for €28m minimum is needed and the management are not keen on a loan formula at present.
I really hope he remains in the team for this season as well and is given more chances as a starter against mid- and bottom-tier clubs.
Obviously he underdelivered last season, but same goes for the whole team and I think it’s one of Pioli’s bad sides. Most of his appearances were in games where the whole team was terrible and he was used as a sub to “fix” things, which is not a great approach with a player that lost his confidence. Let’s not forget he is only 22 and he obviously has a talent. Either choice is a risk, but I don’t think his valuation will drop until next summer.
I don’t think we can afford to keep on giving him chances time after time.
Hope he stays and start playing well. I cheer for him
Sell this guy fast, and let’s forget about him quick!
I hope he remains as well,
Unless we can sell him and buy a €50m striker, an elite striker!!
Vlaovic, Jonathan David etc, then I would not mind CDK leaving👌
