AC Milan are aiming to close the signing of Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge this week. However, even though a hefty offer is ready, the Rossoneri might not get it over the line and thus have a few alternatives.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are aware that time is running out on the mercato. The season will start in less than a month and Stefano Pioli would to have the reinforcements ready as soon as possible.
Therefore, the directors will make it clear to Club Brugge that their new offer (€35m including bonuses) will also be the final one. As reported by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), should they fail to sign De Ketelaere, then they have three alternatives.
Hakim Ziyech has never vanished from the radar and could perhaps be the primary target for the Rossoneri, while Nicolo Zaniolo also remains an option. The third, which is a bit of an outsider, is PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo as the Rossoneri management likes him.
