Since the opening of the transfer window, AC Milan has been active in the direction of arrivals by welcoming several recruits (Chukwueze, Pulisic, Reijnders or even Loftus-Cheek). But what about departures? After a frustrating first season in Italy, Charles De Ketelaere has a good chance of leaving Milan. Disappointed by the performance of the Belgian midfielder (40 appearances without scoring a single goal), the Lombard leaders are actively looking for a way out. If his name has been associated with Olympique de Marseille or Real Sociedad, it is now an Italian club that seems to hold the right end of the rope to enlist him.

The Gazetta dello Sport evokes this Thursday that Atalanta has reached an agreement in principle with AC Milan for the expensive loan around 6 M € with option to buy Charles de Ketelaere. However, the former FC Bruges player is playing for time. He hasn’t decided yet whether he wants to continue his career in Serie A or not and is studying all the opportunities available to him. The Lombards are expected to know the Belgian’s final decision by next week.
