Charles De Ketelaere is still not a Milan player, as there is no agreement between the clubs, despite another face-to-face meeting today.

Milan have been trying to bring CDK to Stefano Pioli’s squad since the start of the summer transfer market 3 weeks ago, but they cannot come to terms with Brugge.

Last week the sides met in Belgium and failed to reach an agreement, and today the parties met in a hotel in Lugano, Switzerland, and once again did not leave the room with a deal, as reported by Sky Italia, Milannews.it and others.

The meeting, which was attended by Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, ended at around 14:15 today, but not much was accomplished there. The position of Milan and the position of Brugge remain unchanged: according to Milannews.it’s Milan are offering €32-33m including bonuses (+ a percentage of a future sale as per Mediaset), while Brugge want €35m as a fixed price + bonuses.

Maldini and Massara have already returned to Milano and they’ll continue to hope that Brugge lower their demands and accept their offer. Pioli is meanwhile in Austria, working with a familiar squad.
