Atalanta are confident that Charles De Ketelaere is going to accept the loan move from AC Milan in the next few hours even though there is interest from elsewhere, a report claims.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), the Belgian attacking midfielder has been taking some time to decide where he wants to go on loan.
It seems that the prospect of staying in Italy is favourable, perhaps because he wants to remain visible to Milan so that he can fight for his place there in the future.
The loan has already been agreed between the two clubs which will see Atalanta pay €3m for the season and then the optional fee of €26m.
The reason De Ketelaere has not immediately said yes is that Premier League side Fulham and La Liga side Real Sociedad are firmly in the frame to sign the midfielder.
Atalanta going to have a front 2 of CDK and Scamacca… I thought that would be our forwards a couple of months ago
