According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan is gearing up to sell Alexis Saelemaekers and Charles De Ketelaere in the upcoming summer transfer window, anticipating earnings exceeding €30 million.

As detailed in Wednesday’s printed edition of the publication, featured on page six, Milan’s plans for the summer transfer campaign are outlined, revealing their intention to bolster their financial resources through the permanent transfers of Saelemaekers and De Ketelaere.

In addition to a key player potentially departing at the season’s end—such as Theo Hernandez, Mike Maignan, or Rafael Leao—Milan aims to enhance their transfer budget through the permanent sales of Saelemaekers and De Ketelaere, as per Gazzetta’s insights.

Reportedly, Atalanta has all but confirmed the permanent signing of CDK for €22 million, supplemented by additional clauses. CDK, who has amassed ten goals and contributed seven assists in 29 appearances across various competitions this season, has impressed Atalanta, warranting their satisfaction with his performances.

Conversely, Bologna remains undecided regarding Saelemaekers, the compatriot of De Ketelaere, who has recently been relegated from his starting position at Stadio Dall’Ara.

At 24 years old, Saelemaekers no longer fits into Milan’s future plans, and Bologna holds an option to secure his services for approximately €10 million in June.
