Charles De Ketelaere’s superlative season with Atalanta sees him firmly establishing himself as a cornerstone of the team’s attacking prowess. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the club fully envisions him as a key figure in their long-term plan — one that’s as successful as it is forward-thinking.
Reports indicate that Atalanta will trigger the buy-back clause embedded in De Ketelaere’s contract. The club is prepared to bring the Belgian midfielder fully on board by paying a staggering £18.7 million [€22 million] to AC Milan.
As of now, it’s uncertain whether any deal or discount is under consideration. Nevertheless, both clubs are diligently working together to guarantee that De Ketelaere becomes a fully-fledged Atalanta player.
