It seems as though there are only two options on the table when it comes to the future of Charles De Ketelaere, with a loan switch not one of them.
According to what is being reported this morning by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), there are two potential paths for De Ketelaere’s future. Either the player will remain at Milan with the hope that he can recover after a tough first season, or he could be sold.
Given that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara invested over €30m to sign him from Club Brugge under a year ago, they would not consider selling for less than €27-28m so as not to record a loss on the balance sheet.
The hope is that the 22-year-old will be able to carry out adequate athletic preparation from the first day of training camp as opposed to last summer when he joined late, and thus have a second season resurgence like Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali had.
We picked out some of the positive signs in a feature yesterday, including how he should have potentially had as many as five more assists.
