The big goal for the AC Milan trocar comes from Belgium and is Charles de Ketelaere. Born in 2001, he plays in Bruges and costs around 40 million euros. An important figure, which the Rossoneri aim to reduce after a negotiation that is in fact about to officially start. However, he is the name desired by Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara to cover more roles on Stefano Pioli’s trocar. Above all, that of the man behind the striker, owner in the tiles that so far has mainly occupied Brahim Diaz.
The numbers in season
In the season just ended, De Ketelaere played 39 league games (between regular season and playoff) in which he scored 14 times and an assist 8. In the six matches of the Champions League group, 500 minutes played and an assist all ‘active. In the national cup an excellent average with 4 goals and assistance in just 3 games. Finally at the beginning of the year, in the National Super Cup, De Ketelaere played all 90 minutes of the match. At the end of the season the young Brugge talent won the championship with his team.
Predestined talent
The intersections and the intertwining of destiny with Milan are not lacking. Starting with the agent, Tom de Mul, former partner and friend of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the time of Ajax. Then the model he is associated with, Ricardo Kakà, up to the match in the national team against Italy: goal to Gianluigi Donnarumma, on the field in place of Alexis Saelemakers. Not all roses, however: when he was very young he was afraid of having to stop when he was playing in the Bruges Under 16 team due to knee problems. The Belgian could also have become a champion in another sport, namely tennis as it is said that at 12 he was one of the three or four best Belgian tennis players of his age. Then, the decision. Football. He has seen us for a long time, like AC Milan who want to aim strongly for us.
