Inside Leeds United’s doomed Charles De Ketelaere transfer push

The tiresome transfer saga involving Charles De Ketelaere, AC Milan and Leeds United has finally drawn to an end. The 21-year-old has secured a five-year deal with the Serie A champions with an option for a further year - becoming the most expensive Belgian export in history.

AC Milan have agreed to pay Club Brugge a fee of €32m plus €3m in bonuses. The Rossoneri have also agreed to pay a 12.5% resale clause for any sale over the sum of €32m.

Leeds submitted a superior bid of £33.5m earlier in the window but the Belgian international had always made his intentions clear that the city of Milan was his preferred destination.
