Summer Mercato 2022

[Zio Fester]

Meeting between Milan and Club Brugge for De Ketelaere has ended. No agreement reached yet but meeting was positive. Meeting was cordial and negotiations will continue in the coming hours. There is serenity between parties in the hope of reaching a final agreement

The 'serene' word again, come on ...

Serenity...

Does any other club operate as ineptly as this. Went to Belgium for a day trip.

Someone should stop with the 'serene' word. Building a team is not about going to yoga classes, lol come on...

Alexandre Braeckman of RTL Sport reports that the meeting today allowed Brugge to communicate very clearly the price they are asking for, while there is ‘optimism confirmed by both parties’ and Milan will evaluate a final offer which will arrive ‘very quickly’. No offer was made during the meeting.

From Belgian media, says the same as di marzio, but with some images and a video of MM and their private jet

[slifersd1]

Should've just saved the money on private jet and took the call in their office. I think someone needs to clarify what kind of budget we actually have for this mercato, because this is getting ridiculous

[Zio Fester]

Milan directors Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara left Belgium without an agreement for Charles De Ketelaere, and without having made much progress at all.

According to HLN (via MilanNews) ‘there is still an abyss’ between what Milan are willing to offer and the requests of Club Brugge, despite the persuasion attempted today by the Rossoneri directors.

Beyond embarrassing.

[Arildonardo]

Yeah, this is really embarrassing. I can't believe we ended up here after all the positivity from the Scudetto... Losing hope.

[ZvonimirBoban]

Huh, just chill everyone. I recall the enthusiasm here when we signed 7-9 players (?) in one window during F&M era, and all of them looked promising.

After all, how effective a mercato is will only be seen when the league starts.

[nefremo]

Problem is that the media sets the expectations, and people believe it. Media says "M&M going to Belgium to close"...and when they don't, people go mad. When in fact, yes, they were going to Belgium, but nobody knew exactly why and maybe they went fully knowing they won't close. I am not going to deny it's a bit odd. This can be done remotely. But let's not forget that there is a humam aspect business and in person meetings are not so out of the ordinary.
