Leeds United now have clear path for Charles De Ketelaere transfer as AC Milan set to pull plug
Leeds United could now have a clear path to sign Club Brugges star Charles De Ketelaere, according to HLN.
The Belgian outlet has reported on its website that AC Milan are now set to pull the plug on their pursuit of the Belgian wonder despite demands being softened this week.
The Whites now have £34.1million on the table ready to go, with De Ketelaere said to be remaining a Brugges player for the being in this window.
This is the moment Leeds have been waiting for.
Paulo Maldini made the trip to Brugges in midweek to try and get a deal over the line, but was unsuccessful in his efforts to drive the ultimate price down to his level.
The Italians are struggling for cash it seems, and De Ketelaere along with his entourage are said to be in a down mood as things stand.
Leeds have fired £34.1million and it remains on the table, with no guaranteed answer yet given.
Over to you.
It is time for Victor Orta to work his magic.
Leeds are desperate for a new striker, and it is time to stop all of this messing around and show AC Milan how to really get a transfer over the line.
De Ketelaere is available for over £30million and the Whites are ready to pay that, with personal terms not expected to be an issue either – something that should make this easy.
That is if the Belgian international is ready to make the move.
With AC Milan incapable of getting it over the line, would De Ketelaere rather stay in Belgium or try and make a name for himself in the Premier League? That is what he has to think about now.
Leeds are looking to build something special, and making this huge statement signing just before the Premier League gets underway would send a real message out.
It’s time to put our foot down now.
