Charles De Ketelaere is set to complete his move to Milan early next week after an agreement was finally reached with Club Brugge yesterday.
The Rossoneri have been desperate to secure the 21-year-old Belgian talent’s signature for some time now and had long been in talks with Club Brugge, competing with Leeds United for the exciting playmaker. De Ketelaere has always been excited about the prospect of joining Milan and his dream is almost a reality now.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, De Ketelaere is expected to arrive in Milan tomorrow, either in the late afternoon or evening. He’ll undergo the usual pre-transfer medicals with the Rossoneri on Monday before putting pen to paper on a five-year deal worth around €2.2m net per season.
Should everything go to plan, De Ketelaere would be able to join the squad in Milanello on Tuesday, when the squad will return to work after their friendly against Olympique Marseille. It would then be Stefano Pioli’s decision as to whether to deploy him in the friendly against Vicenza on August 6 or not.
