Stefano Pioli's understrength Milan side shared the spoils with Bolognan in an intense 1-1 draw at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. The Rossoneri gaffer fielded a second-string lineup in anticipation of the return leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Napoli, and it backfired on the reigning champions.
Milan directors Maldini and Massara will fly to Belgium today for a meeting with Club Brugge to discuss Charles De Ketelaere. The counterparty has not budged from their lofty demands, and the Rossoneri are averse to bidding wars.
Roma onboarded Paulo Dybala in what seemed like a quick turn of events only days after submitting a first and only €6M net per season offer. Milan, Inter and Napoli were all in the transfer race, but they came up empty-handed.
Milan have identified Charles De Ketelaere as their top target for the no.10 role. However, the negotiation is not easy due to a few challenges. The demands by Club Brugge are conspicuous, and other teams are seriously pursuing him.
Milan plot to add a couple of attackers to bolster their frontline ahead of the 2022/2023 season. The Rossoneri have suspiciously yet to announce to have bought out Junior Messias even though they have reportedly reached agreement with Crotone.
Belgian starlet Charles De Ketelaere has been linked with a transfer to Italian champions Milan, and the Rossoneri could very well initiate a move shortly. The club is interested in investing in young players and is eyeing two Club Brugge forwards.
Milan will have plenty to spend in the summer, as their budget will reach the triple-digit threshold. The finances of the club are healthy, plus the certainty of the Champions League qualification and the possible Scudetto win will further add to their economic ammo.
Milan might make multiple changes to their frontline, and a few of their attackers face an uncertain future after an unconvincing season. At this stage, Rafael Leao and Alexis Saelemaekers are the only ones certain to stay put. The Rossoneri have begun tracking some intriguing options.
