"We are on it": AC Milan CLOSING IN on the BELGIAN JEWEL they want
The directors from the rossoneri met with representatives from the club in Belgium and the deal is progressing
AC Milan have come back from the brink of catastrophy this summer window. Being days away from losing the duo of Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, who where the architects of their return to Serie A glory over differences in club management policies with the owners, now they're back on the saddle and everything could end up working for the Rossoneri.

"We are always confident, it was a good meeting for Charles de Ketelaere deal", commented Maldini uppon landing, before also bringing measure of cautioness: "We will see what happens - we are on it".

It was one of those ovations that smell of farewell, so it all points towards a matter of "when" and not "if" for the move that would bring one of the hottest prospects in Europe to one of the most historied teams in the continent.
