AC Milan will have to raise their offer once again if they are to sign Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge because their current bid is not enough, a report claims.
De Ketelaere will play in Brugge’s friendly today against FC Utrecht having sat out their game against Copenhagen last weekend, showing that a deal is far from imminent, and Alexandre Braeckman of RTL Sport confirms there is not yet an agreement between the sides yet.

The Belgian club want to receive closer to the €40m mark including bonuses if they are to sell, while Milan’s offer totals €31m. The two clubs are in discussion every day, and it is ‘too early to tell’ if the deal could be completed this week.
Leeds United are ‘not out of the picture’ and their offer remains on the table. Milan have not yet raised their bid but they remain the big favourites ‘for the moment’, but ‘everything is going very fast in the transfer window’.
Milan want to move quickly but Brugge have time and know they are in a position of strength, so everything will continue in the coming days.
Milanisti ignore these articles because we’re always “the favourites” and then the complete opposite happens 🤷
This could be make sense. 40M for CDK and 10M for renato sanchez. Loan for ziyech and abdou diallo.
Tomorrow we will hear “CDK move imminent as AC Milan and Club Brugge on the brink of agreement”. Then the next day “The deal is far from done”.
