Milan want Charles De Ketelaere and CDK wants Milan, and today a new offer has been made.

Milan are focusing on getting a new trequartista and their number one target is De Ketelaere of Club Brugge.

An offer of €20m plus bonuses was already rejected last week, and today, the club submitted a new offer according to the media in Italy and Belgium.

Belgian journalist Alexandre Braeckman reports on Monday that Milan have made Brugge an offer that evaluates CDK at €30 million.

The offer includes money + two youngsters: Andreas Jungdal and Emil Roback. There is a verbal agreement between Milan and De Ketelaere over a 5-year contract, and the Rossoneri are pushing hard to conclude the deal. Leeds United, who offered €37m, are giving up on the player.

Antonio Vitiello of Milannews.it meanwhile claims that the new Milan offer has not yet reached €30m but the fixed part of the offer has been increased. Vitiello also makes no mention of Jungdal and Roback. It is said, however, that CDK strongly wants to join Milan and there is confidence that there could be a positive conclusion in favor of the Rossoneri in the coming days.

Braeckman claims that Milan don’t want to go above €30m but bonuses or clauses could get this deal across the finishing line. The Diavolo are betting on the 21-year-old offensive player.

I taught we are owned by rich people,so why is it hard to cough out money to sign players the season is fast approaching we where given 40-50m for transfer and we won scudetto we got money for qualifying CL I think is high time we start getting deals done,if we want to be competitive in Europe am tired of reading the same news let me see we have sign a player

SJF

Your right,
So much wasted time, its imperative to have new players arriving early to integrate.
Our rivals have been strengthening all summer and we have what? Origi for free! A squad player at best

Our budget is a joke for Serie a champions.

Maldini is clearly not satisfied. Hes only staying out of loyalty to the team he has built.

Phildadon1899

There were times when Pirlo and Seedorf were considered “squad players” Origi hasn’t even laced up his boots and you’re defining him as a player. Go look at the magnitude of the goals he’s scored in his career. I bet you hated the Giroud signing too. And he basically won us the scudetto

Oluwa Shevy

Don’t justify it,we need sign players we know where we have lapses yet we haven’t cover it up and the season is fast approaching

SJF

Oh man u make me laugh! Comparing Pirlo and Seedorf to Origi!
Anyway im not against his signing, hes a decent option for free, but lets not kid ourselves he has averaged 4 league goals per year over the 10 years of his senior career.
So ye we need a good striker, rw and am as we have for years.

Dybala is also free, thats the kind of class we should be bringing in

Oluwa Shevy

The wage will be an obstacle for dybala to come to Milan gone are does days of silvo, galliani that each transfer we must have a marquee signing mr x.

SJF

If u want top players u have to pay a good salary.
Anyeay he is free. Ibra has been earning a fortune and hardly playing. So lets direct those funds to Dybala now

Also given how many high class players that have left us for nothing, it be nice to get one our way

Oluwa Shevy

Well true tho top players left for nothing not bad to get dybala but would the management go for him that’s another topic to worry on we are yet to seal a transfer since mercato open aside origi which is even a free transfer. Season is 3weeks away yet no official signing

Ranajaya

Dybala has injury problems and he can’t defend. Defending takes a lot of energy and increases injury risk. And his salary…..
Well let’s just say he should’ve joined us straight from Palermo, but he didn’t so the ship has sailed

philldadon1899

I wasnt comparing them. I was simply saying they were considered Inter rejects when Milan purchased them. And yes. He hasnt averaged a lot. Look at who he was playing behind. Dybala wont come to milan. He is far to expensive in the wage department. Plus I would rather bet on CDK anyways. He reminds me of KDB. Imagine Milan with a KDB in the team. Striker is the least of my concern because Milan won the scudetto with strikers that had NO support from the 10 position. Giroud and Origi with CDK supplying them the ball is going to… Read more »

Dude, i really don’t care about names. Hope we do get cdk, he could be a gem. Fact is he is still young and developing. So imagine adding experience and quality like Dybala who is not ancient like giroud or ibra. I see no reason they both can’t play. Fact is zlatan is done, so put those wages towards Dybala, a class no 10 who can create chances. Hell be the bezt am we have had since kaka. Cdk can play as striker, origi and Giroud as back up. We haven’t got money to buy players like Darwin Nunez or… Read more »

Same thought…Why can’t we channel that big salary we pay Ibrahinmovic to Dybala. I guess the new owners are using the revenue we make this year as part of their purchase fund. If not, why is it taking us eternity to cough out 30M to sign CDK ? We are only doing scouting jobs for other clubs. Each player we intend to get, u will see two to three clubs circling round. Now sanches that had agreed initially that he only wanted Milan but now the tune has changed. He wants to go to PSG. Am not surprised at this… Read more »

philldadon1899

LOL. Ancient Giroud won us the scudetto. Just goes to show. You do care about names.

Ibra is also signing like a 1.5 million euro contract. So his wages are going to be going to renew Leao. Dybala isnt coming to Milan. Get over it. He left Juve because they didnt want to pay him like 12 million euros a year lol. Sound familiar? Id rather not have another Donnarumma here. Thanks

Gbenga AJOSE

Lol brother….I forgot Leao is there asking for 7M. Leao contract should be sorted ASAP.

SJF

Giroud is old, get over that. He was very poor for large parts of the season. He also had some great games, but you must understand with age it only goes one direction. He will have less and less minutes in his legs. In terms of Dybala, he is a much better fit for milan than inter or juve. Once again, he is FREE!!!!!!!!!! Where on earth would we find that quality of player for free?? So of course he wants a big wage because as with all bosman transfers the players get a better wage as no transfer fee… Read more »

Phildadon1899

He’s a better fit for Milan? You ready to lose Leao then?

Trust me. You don’t need to explain anything. Your football knowledge already explained it all.

SJF

What has it to do with Leao?? Nothing. We have lost more good players this summer. So unfortunately not only do we need to fill the striker, am and rw positions that have been desperately needed for so long, we also need to replace kessie and roma. This was our opportunity to increase the quality of our squad, when i believe we were close to being a high class team capable of competing in Europe. If your happy with origi, Florenzi and messias good for you, enjoy watching us struggle in Europe again and fall behind in italy. I agree… Read more »

Phildadon1899

Again proving you know nothing about football. This isn’t fifa. We sign Dybala to his wage demands and leao doesn’t get renewed. So while you sound like a know it all, I am going to trust Maldini. The guy who brought this team back to where we belong. Pretty sure I saw posts of you saying he didn’t know what he was doing mid season. Now you’re quoting him.

SJF

I have always been supportive of maldini. Thats why i think he shud be given the resources he needs.
There is no logic in your leao, Dybala link.
Obviously if we want to keep good players we have to pay them.
The problem here is the ownership mess we are in.
Anyway Dybala wants 6m per year, no transfer fee = bargain of the century

But heck we have Origi, why would we want a world class player like Dybala.

Coach Seedorf

Dybala is injury prone now. Juve doesn’t feel he is worth it anymore that’s why they didn’t renew him. Given how our last two deals worked out with Juve i.e Bonucci and Higuane, I say no to Dybala. He would be another flop waiting to happen. Injuries won’t let him hit form and we’ll be paying him a lot for sitting on the bench. I believe Sanchez injury concerns is what his stalling his deal also

SJF

We also got Inzaghi from Juve.
There is no relevance in comparing those deals

Coach Seedorf

Watch and see Origi hit the 20+ goals mark with us. All his previous managers have nice things to say about him. Why is he being called a Liverpool legend? Is it for averaging 4 goals in his 10years of senior professional football? Once you guys hear free transfer, you feel the player is worthless. Was Gigi Donarruma, Calhanoglu, Kessie and Romagnoli worthless since they left on free transfers? Was Pirlo worthless also or is Dybala now worthless too?

SJF

I have no problem with signing Origi, but he is not a 20 goal striker.
We have lost some quality players again this summer and so far we have no replacements.
Everything from management contracts and renewals to new signings have stalled.

Coach Seedorf

Thank you Phildadon. It was same Pirlo that Juve signed from us on free transfer that transformed Juve and helped them start a winning cycle in Italy. M&M know what they are doing, it’s not always about splashing the cash. Relax guys. Since Leonardo left, our management has hardly made wrong deals, check the stats and keep calm okay. M&M certainly have more powers now otherwise they wouldn’t have stayed. By November, we will understand properly what their powers are if Gazidiz deal is not renewed. Gazidis still has a contract till November hence he cannot be bypassed now

Ruskin

Let’s don’t pretend abt what is happening in milan ,the club is not ready to maintain too 4,they just want to gamble it and put pressure on pioli and the players ,and please fans shud not go against pioli wen matches become so difficult cos as far as am concerned the management are not serious people ,how do u win scudetto with average players wen inter ,juve and others are buying players that can win matches

SJF

Your spot on Ruskin.
We are losing good players and no momentum in replacing them.
As u say dont expect miracles from our players and manager.
