Yesterday Milan officially bought Charles De Ketelaere, but consciously had to say goodbye to Renato Sanchez (one step away from Paris Saint-Germain) and to Chukwimica Carne, who moved to Chelsea for 24 million euros Less than a year from the expiration date.

long-term negotiations
Milan had already seen Renato Sánchez a year before, and approached him with a concrete offer in the January market, but however, he was unable to close the purchase due to lack of agreement to participate; After the end of the tournament, it seemed that the negotiations could be closed in favor of Rossoneri, with Lille and the player willing to accept Rossoneri's offers. However, the incorporation of Galtier and Campos from Paris Saint-Germain changed the cards: 20 million euros from Lille and 6 player salaries per contract. The numbers, both from the Portuguese category of 1997 and from the English one of 2004, are unsustainable.

new options
Now Milan will have to explore new options for their midfield. In fact, Casey's farewell must be filled not so much in the technical aspect (Pioli considers tactical alternatives with high-quality offensive midfielders), but in the level of presence, given the forty consecutive games that the Ivorian has guaranteed each year. Some players were proposed to Milan, but were not favored by Maldini and Massara; Among the welcome profiles are Sekou Fofana from Lens, the former 27-year-old Ivorian from Udinese, and 19-year-old Tottenham midfielder Bab Sarr.
