Di Marzio: De Ketelaere set for Atalanta medical – details of the €29m operation

Charles De Ketelaere is preparing to become a new Atalanta player as everything has been agreed regarding his loan deal, a report claims.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the final bureaucratic details have now been sorted out meaning De Ketelaere is now ready to begin his adventure with Atalanta, leaving Milan after just one season.

The deal will be a paid loan with an option to buy and the medical checks will be completed either tomorrow or on Thursday, which will be the Belgian’s last steps before signing his contract with Atalanta.

The 22-year-old joins a new-look attack after the sale of Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United, with El Bilal Touré and Gianluca Scamacca having already arrived.

La Dea will immediately pay around €3m for the loan deal to Milan and the option to buy is set at €22m plus €4m in bonuses. Furthermore, the Rossoneri will receive a percentage of the amount from any future resale, set at around 10%.

  1. It will end like Paqueta, transfer to Man City or Real Madrid for 80-100M€. Remember what I said. Top player, just like Lucas is, but Pioli doesn’t know how to play AMCs properly…

    1. To be precised, Pioli doesn’t know how to utilize a players talent correctly.
      We saw how Ancelotti transformed Pirlo into one of best deep-lying playmaker. Pirlo is result of Ancelottis good eyes on talent and idea/vision.
      He tried Pirlo in new position and
      While Pioli on the other, is afraid to make radical change even in the pre-season. He sticked with his preference players. No wonder Krunic will always play. I always think that Pioli is old-fashioned coach

      1. Yes, you people flamed Paqueta and he is a magician with the ball. He was better under Gattuso than Pioli, says a lot about Pioli and how good he is. Perfect example, he is about to move to City for 90M€. The second he left Milan he flourished in Lyon. De Keatelare will be the same, you can see in his moves he is a top player that needs a bit better guidance and Gasperini is way better at that…

  2. Paqueta showed promise at Milan and had good form for a short while. CDK never showed that. Now it would be foolish to think they are on the same level. All we can hope for is Atalanta exercising the buyout.

    Then the excuse of not playing him right. A million different excuses for a player that showed little appetite and spent more time sulking around the pitch.
