Atalanta hammered AC Milan’s next opponents Salernitana last night, beating them 4-1 at home after trailing at half-time, and Charles De Ketelaere was in inspired form.
Calciomercato.com recall how De Ketelaere came off the bench last night and registered a goal and an assist as a substitute to seal a match that had in truth started badly for the home side.
The Belgian attacking midfielder is increasingly finding himself to be a central part of Atalanta’s plans under Gian Piero Gasperini after a difficult couple of months due to injury.
Now Milan can hope that he is bought permanently at the end of the season, given it would allow them to make a small capital gain that could be reinvested on other more suitable profiles, given it never really worked out for CDK.
As a reminder, BergamoNews – who claim to have access to Atalanta’s accounts from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 – revealed the real figures of De Ketelaere’s loan move. The formula is a paid loan costing €3m plus an option to buy set at €22m and a further €2m in bonuses, thus making a total of €27m.
