Accordingly, Milan are aiming to sell De Ketelaere so they can then sink in Chukwueze. The 22-year-old Belgian remains at Pioli’s disposal and will take part in the American tour, but with suitcases ready to leave
Charles De Ketelaere is at Milanello and will therefore depart regularly for the United States tomorrow with the rest of the team. This does not rule out a transfer: the trequartista is on his way out: AC Milan would like to sell him to PSV, although De Ketelaere does not seem so convinced: the youngster would instead like to play at least another year in Italy to redeem himself.
Journalist Luca Bianchin spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about AC Milan, the possible sale of De Katelaere and the lunge on Chukwueze. “The game is played between Taremi and Chukwueze. But the latter is clearly favoured,’ Bianchin explained.
“We actually need around 25 million for Chukwueze. Then, for the contract as a wage, we are talking about 4 million. De Katelaere’s exit could accelerate the incoming blow, i.e. the lunge for Chukwueze. But it is difficult to place the Belgian,’ continued the sports journalist.
“For Danjuma it was, as always, a question of money: AC Milan did not want to take him outright, but on loan with the right of redemption, and Villareal at this point obtained more guarantees of redemption from Everton. “
De Ketelaere out: ‘PSV Eindhoven approached, but only asked for a loan’
The interviewee went on to explain that Danjuma himself would prefer to play in the Premier League. “At Everton he would play more. Plus there is always the allure of playing in the richest league in the world. A 15 million redemption can be safer with Danjuma at Everton than at AC Milan. And at Villareal they know that very well. “
De Ketelaere
“For De Ketelaere it seems that a transfer is inevitable. The only problem is that there are no teams interested in taking him at full price. The boy is no longer part of the technical project. Milan will accept proposals if they are suitable. Alternatively, he can be loaned with a right or an obligation, as long as the final sum is around 25 million, as he weighs 28 million on the balance sheet.
“I believe he has unexpressed qualities,” the journalist concluded. “The De Ketelaere seen the first year in the Rossoneri was too bad to be true. Let’s see how it will turn out… PSV Eindhoven approached, but only asked for a dry loan. In short, for a right of redemption we are far from finding a square”.
