AC Milan had hoped that Charles De Ketelaere would do well at the U-21 European Championship after his disappointing season at the San Siro. Unfortunately, the player did not perform greatly. The player ends his season now with more lows than highs.
According to what is reported by Tuttosport, De Ketelaere struggled, just like at Milan, despite the trust of coach Mathijssen, who fielded him as a starter in all three matches.
The former Club Brugge talent now is at a crossroads with Milan. Will his club still keep faith in him or will they show him the exit door? For now, things are not very clear, also because it will not be easy to find a club willing to offer what AC Milan want for the Belgian: at least 28 million euros. That amount is the exact price that would allow the club to avoid a loss in the balance sheet. On the other hand, AC Milan does not seem inclined to loan him out, so there are currently only two possible scenarios: staying at Milanello or being sold permanently
We will see what happens, but what is certain is that at the Under 21 European Championship, Charles De Ketelaere missed another great opportunity to revive his form and career and prove that AC Milan did not make a mistake investing in him last summer.
