Belgian midfielder Charles De Ketelaere has officially transferred to Atalanta from AC Milan on a permanent deal. De Ketelaere's move comes after a season on loan with Atalanta, where he demonstrated his skills and potential.
Transfer Details
De Ketelaere joined AC Milan from Club Brugge in the summer of 2022 for a reported fee of €35 million. During his tenure at Milan, he made 40 appearances but struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score any goals.
In the summer of 2023, De Ketelaere was loaned to Atalanta for the 2023-2024 season. The loan included an option for Atalanta to make the move permanent, an option which they have now exercised.
Performance at Atalanta
During his loan spell at Atalanta, De Ketelaere revitalized his career, showcasing his technical abilities and fitting well into Gian Piero Gasperini's system. His performances convinced the club to secure his services on a permanent basis. While specific statistics from his loan spell might vary, his overall contributions were significant enough to warrant the permanent move.
Future Prospects
The 23-year-old's transfer to Atalanta marks a new chapter in his career, offering him a stable platform to continue his development and impact in Serie A. De Ketelaere's versatility and vision are expected to be key assets for Atalanta as they aim to compete both domestically and in European competitions.
With this move, Atalanta hopes to further enhance their squad depth and maintain their competitive edge in the Italian top flight.
