Aston Villa is very active in this transfer market! After completing the arrival of Pau Torres, now a former Villareal player, against a check for 32.5 million euros plus 5 million bonuses, the Birmingham club does not intend to stop there. From now on, Unai Emery’s priority is given to the attack and the Iberian coach is sounding abroad to unearth the talent that would give more stripes to his workforce, in accordance with the European ambitions of his English team for the season in come. From this perspective, the Gazzetta Dello Sport informs this Thursday that the resident of the Premier League would be willing to relaunch a flop from AC Milan, in this case Charles De Ketelaere.
Recruited at a hefty price last summer, the former Club Brugge prodigy quickly fell back from his cloud. The one who had revealed himself in the jersey of the Blauw en Zwart against Paris Saint-Germain one evening in the Champions League in 2021 was confined for most of the season to the bench of Lombard substitutes (40 appearances, only 13 starts for 0 goal). In lack of playing time, the opportunity to relaunch abroad seems like a wise choice for the 22-year-old player. Especially since the arrival of Christian Pulisic this summer from Chelsea definitely seems to have destroyed his chances of carving out a place in Stefano Pioli’s starting lineup. The pink paper newspaper adds that Aston Villa plans to offer 25 million, a sum lower than that hoped for by the 2022 Italian champion. But the Lombard leaders could well drop some ballast in this file because a possible sale of the Belgian would be seen. with a good eye for the Milanese management, eager to part with certain elements to replenish its coffers and reinject the money earned directly into the transfer market. In addition to Charles De Ketelaere, Divock Origi and Ante Rebic are also expected to leave.
