AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli has already had a phone call with Club Brugge youngster Charles De Ketelaere about a move to the club, a report claims.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, the groundwork is being laid by multiple people at the club to try and bring De Ketelaere in as soon as possible.
The Club Brugge player is one of at least two that Milan want to sign to try and improve the quality of their attacking midfield.
Milan made their first official bid for him recently which was €20 million but that was rejected as Club Brugge want at least €30 million. That fee would likely rise to €35 million.
In recent days there has reportedly been a phone call between Pioli and De Ketelaere where the coach outlined the club’s plans on the pitch. The deal is likely to accelerate in the next 10-15 days it seems.
