For the third consecutive summer Charles De Ketelaere will be the protagonist. After the exhausting negotiation of July 2022 in which the Milan he tore it from the Bruges who was a tough nut to crack in the negotiation, last summer was the year of the immediate farewell with the Belgian, filmed in loan with right of redemption to Atalantawhich could become definitive over the next few months.
Percassi dixit
As mentioned Charles De Ketelaere played this season in loan to Atalantaknowing that at the end of the season his future could experience yet another crossroads: the return to Milan if things didn’t go well with the Goddess, confirmation with the Nerazzurri if things were going well. This season the Belgian has totally revolutionized his image, dirtied after a first season with zero goals and one assist with Milan. He played with Atalanta 50 games scoring 14 goalsputting the icing on the cake during the final weeks of the season with the Europa League victory. During the year both the technician Gasperini that the president Percassi they often talked about De Ketelaere. Especially the latter often spoke in positive tones when asked about redemption of the player owned by Milan. The latest statements arrived yesterday: “We finished yesterday, we will have the opportunity to talk with Milan and we will resume the relationship, knowing what Atalanta has done in recent months and what he has done”.
Two roads
In optics Milantherefore, the there are two roads: on the one hand Atalanta will be able to pay i 23 million plus bonuses provided for by the ransom, to which is also added a percentage on future resale, on the other, the Bergamo players will sit at the table with the Rossoneri management to obtain a discount. Given the player’s performance, the Bergamo club’s desire to keep him and the agreements previously made between the two clubs, in all likelihood and logically the Milan will clearly push for the full ransom to be paid. This obviously could bring important and immediate benefits for the club in via Aldo Rossi, especially with regards to the transfer market. The money that could come from the permanent sale of De Ketelaere but also from the possible one of Alexis Saelemaekers at Bologna, they will be reinvested on the market by the Rossoneri. Milan needs to sign a player new center forward as well as a central defender. Then in all likelihood you will also aim for a defensive midfielder it’s a right back.
