According to reports, Charles De Ketelaere will stay at Atalanta after reaching an agreement with AC Milan to convert his first loan into a permanent transfer.
Some uncertainties have arisen in recent days about De Ketelaere’s status when Atalanta attempted to negotiate the option to buy fee agreed upon last summer as part of his loan stint.
However, Calciomercato.com reports that all uncertainties have been removed, and an agreement between the Bergamo club and Milan has been reached ‘in every detail’, much to the joy of the Belgium international, who wanted to stay under Gian Piero Gasperini’s command. La Dea will pay €22 million plus bonuses to sign De Ketelaere, and due to the clubs’ outstanding ties and the 23-year-old’s firm intention to just play for Atalanta next season, the
Rossoneri agreed to waive the 10% resale clause. A total of 14 goals and 11 assists persuaded Atalanta management to proceed with the buy option, even though they attempted to negotiate the price lower in recent days, exploiting the player’s desire to stay at the club. Now we must see if he can build on his successful campaign.
