This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that English Premier League side Aston Villa will offer Milan €25 million for Belgian youth international Chales De Ketelaere. The 22-year-old De Ketelaere, dubbed a child prodigy by the Belgian press, came to the (then) Italian champions from Club Brugge for 35.5 million euros in the summer of 2022, and in the first season he played in 40 games, spent 1,480 minutes on the pitch and provided one assist. .
The Belgian midfielder, for whom Milan “moved every stone” a year ago in the summer, fell far short of expectations in his first season in Italy and failed to break into the starting line-up. Stefano Pioli primarily preferred Brahim Diaz in the attacking midfield position, so the 22-year-old Belgian footballer was only an additional man.
Although De Ketelare’s agent, Tom De Mul, said in an interview last week that Milan still believe in him 100 percent, the reality shows otherwise, as Aston Villa’s €25 million offer is already on the table of Milan’s leaders. According to Gazzetta, this offer was rejected by the management of the Northern Italian club, as they want a minimum of 30 million for the Belgian player.
