De Ketelaere- Milan could be completed after the weekend: the latest
After the latest push in Belgium and contact with Club Bruges, Milan are waiting to close a verbal deal for Charles De Ketelaere during the weekend and then complete the bureaucratic process between Monday and Tuesday.
Ideally, the Belgian could arrive in Italy by next week. However, no positive steps in the negotiations today, even though he remains a priority for Milan. The Rossoneri remain hopeful, but they are realistic and could look to alternatives.
Milan are betting on that they can finish a deal for De Ketelaere at the start of next week. It is possible that at anytime that things can get complicated and they would have to adapt their strategies for the trequartista position. Ziyech remains of one of their options (even though he is also a winger). Wijnaldum has been ruled out because of his high salary and he is not considered a trequartista.
In this case, Milan could reallocate their resources to another part of their squad, but it is not certain. For their defence, there is confirmed interest in Tanganga and Ndicka.
