AC Milan are ready to sell Charles de Ketelaere this summer.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Leeds have held a long-term interest in De Ketelaere and now the 21-year-old is available for as little as 17million, despite the club having a 35m bid rejected last summer.

The Whites would only have to pay half of what they originally offered last season. A deal looked set for the midfielder to move to Elland Road, before Milan swooped in and agreed a fee with Club Brugge for his services.

Since swapping Club Brugge for AC Milan, De Ketelaere has struggled to find his feet in Italy and has registered just one assist in 31 appearances across all competitions.

It is this form that could see the Italian side wash their hands of him so quickly, as Premier League sides weigh up whether they can find a way to unleash the potential that he has shown in the past.
