Repubblica: Milan place bid worth €30m for De Keterlaere and receive his approval

AC Milan are making progress in talks over a deal for Charles De Ketelaere having got the approval of the player, according to a report.

According to what is being reported by La Repubblica (via MilanNews), Milan have taken a step forward in their pursuit of the Belgian playmaker by making an official bid for him worth €25m as an initial transfer fee plus €5m in potential bonuses.

The negotiations are continuing and will soon reach the most crucial phase, with the Milan management pushing hard to bring De Ketelaere to Italy as he is the favoured target for the attacking department over Nicolo Zaniolo of Roma.

There is another bit of good news for Milan: De Ketelaere has given his approval to the idea of joining the Rossoneri which means that now the major obstacle is to agree a price and the structure of the operation with his club Brugge.
