De Ketelaere was on Barça's radar

FC Barcelona are, so far, the leading team in the transfer market. Laporta's obsession with improving the squad in order to compete for everything at any cost has led the sporting management to be very active in monitoring players. 

One of the players closely followed by the 'Cules' is Charles De Ketelaere, as his agents admitted to 'HLN'. Tom de Mul and Yama Sharifi spoke about the interest of FC Barcelona in their player: "It's a pity that at certain times incorrect information has been leaked about him. Even FC Barcelona followed him for a long time.

The player's transfer saga ended a few days ago with his move to Milan. The Italians had to pay around 30 million euros for the Belgian side to let their youngster leave the club. 

FC Barcelona's market so far has included the arrivals of Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandoski, Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Christensen, Kessie and Pablo Torre. In addition, the loan players have returned from their respective destinations. However, the departures are not enough and the 'Cule' board is looking for a way out for many of their players.
