Aston Villa prepare offer for Milan flop De Ketelaere – report

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Aston Villa are ready to offer €25m to sign Charles De Ketelaere from Milan, but the Rossoneri’s asking price is €30m.

The pink paper claims the Premier League side are considering submitting an opening offer in the region of €25m for the 22-year-old.

Milan beat Leeds United to signing CDK a year ago, but the Belgian failed to justify his €35m price tag in his first season at San Siro.

De Ketelaere only delivered one assist in 40 appearances across all competitions in 2022-23, so the Rossoneri are now open to listening to offers for the ex-Club Brugge star.

According to the report, they’ve set the price tag at €30m, but an offer of circa €28m may persuade the Serie A giants to sell the Belgian, especially after securing the services of Christian Pulisic from Chelsea.

De Ketelaere is under contract at Milan until June 2027.
