The Belgian Charles De Ketelaere, 22, would be more than ever on the start, at AC Milan. Recruited last season from Bruges for 35 million euros, De Ketelaere fell short of the hopes placed in him. Recently, Real Sociedad or OM had been cited as potential drop-off points.

But this Thursday, La Gazetta dello Sport reveals that it is Atalanta who holds the rope. The club has made an offer including a paying loan of up to 6 million euros as well as an option to buy. The player tempers for the moment and gives himself time to explore all the opportunities.
