Atalanta is poised to activate the buy option to secure Charles de Ketelaere on a permanent deal from AC Milan. Atalanta’s president, Percassi, has confirmed the club’s intentions to finalize the transfer, ensuring the Belgian midfielder’s stay at the Serie A club.
The deal includes a €23 million buy option along with additional €4 million in add-ons. Furthermore, AC Milan will benefit from a 10% sell-on clause should de Ketelaere be sold in the future. This strategic move by Atalanta underscores their commitment to strengthening their squad by retaining key talents like de Ketelaere.
