AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have to get their own contract renewals sorted out and then they will focus on different important issues at Casa Milan such as finalising some deals like those of Renato Sanches and Divock Origi. Then, they can start thinking of other mercato shots.

One of the main targets in the agenda of the Italian club directors is Charles De Ketelaere, 21-year old attacking midfielder of Club Brugge. He has a contract with the Belgian club until June 2024 with 49 games played in the latest season. During that campaign, he scored 18 goals and created 10 others. The player is understood to be the choice of AC Milan directors Paolo Maldini Maldini and Frederic Massara. This makes many wonder about the future of Brahim Diaz and where does he stand especially if De Ketelaere were to arrive.

According to what is reported by Italian website Calcio Mercato, the arrival of the Club Brugge starlet (whose entourage is in constant contacts with Milan) will not change the future of the Real Madrid loanee.
Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara and head coach Stefano Pioli strongly believe in the qualities of the Spaniard who will remain with the Rossoneri for at least another season, therefore completing his two-year loan deal. This will be communicated to Brahim Diaz' entourage.
