Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are looking to reinforce the attacking department and they have set their sights on Charles De Ketelaere of Club Brugge, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) recalls the excellent season that De Ketelaere had, having scored 14 goals in the league and putting in excellent performances domestically and in the Champions League, something which has obviously attracted the attention of several clubs given his young age (20).
Milan have put him at the top of their summer wish list and now De Ketelaere will have to decide what to do – whether to make the jump to a big club or stay for another year in Brugge to grow – but much will also depend on the offers that arrive too.
An initial asking price of €30m has been set, but the hope of the Belgian club is that an auction is unleashed and that his price can rise up to €40m. Maldini and Massara have already moved for him, as well as for Nicolò Zaniolo and Noa Lang, who are alternative targets.
Choose Milan, Charles!
Charles for the role behind the striker. Zaniolo for the right wing. And Noa Lang as a back-up to Rafael Leao. Lang will be bought only if Rebic moves, that’s how cash flow works. Zaniolo will be bought if we find an offer for Sale. De Katelaere has to be brought firstly, as we don’t have any assets to offload at his position.
100% right
I would pay 45M max for him. We paid 39 M for Leao and he has progressed and is now worth at least 95M..This De Ketelaera kid is very talented and plays CAM,CF and RW and can be developed to become unstoppable like Leao.
Please Choose us Charles.You can win a Balloon Dor at Milan.
one of my colleagues is a Brugge fanboy, he said Lang IS their superstar, the type of player who delivers on his fine day, but the player who excites him the most is CDK, because he felt and i quote “something will happen” whenever Charles get the ball.
I remember felt things like that back in the day to 1 particular young brazilian who wears number 22.
they play differently i know (watched the youtube for charles) but still.. to instill those excitements to some people is nothing sort of a magnanimous talent
