Sky: €35m+ offered and a 48-hour ultimatum – the latest on De Ketelaere

AC Milan have made a new official offer Charles De Ketelaere and this time (please let it be this time) they believe it is the right one.

After Tuesday’s meeting in Lugano, Sky report that the Rossoneri are waiting for a response after Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara have put €35m plus bonuses on the table, with Club Brugge told to give an answer within the next 48 hours.

Milan are also counting on the will of the player, who reiterated that he only wants to join the Rossoneri this summer and in the meantime did not play a single minute of the first two official matches of Club Brugge’s new season.

The 21-year-old playmaker was kept on the bench by head coach Carl Hoefkens in the Belgian Super Cup match win against Gent and then in the first round of Pro League action – when Brugge won against Genk – De Ketelaere was not even called up.
