Bayern Eye Atalanta’s De Ketelaere After Player Gives Approval

Conflicting coverage leaves the pursuit unconfirmed.

Overview

Transfer reporter Sacha Tavolieri reports Bayern have shown concrete interest and that Charles De Ketelaere has approved a move, with talks with Atalanta expected soon.
Reports indicate personal terms should be straightforward, though the clubs still need to agree on a transfer fee.
Sport Bild’s Christian Falk disputes the link and says De Ketelaere is not a serious Bayern target at this stage.
Bayern are working on Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, with De Ketelaere framed as an alternative who offers 6'4" size and the ability to play attacking midfield, wing, or striker.
De Ketelaere has five goals and seven assists in 39 games this season, and his Atalanta deal runs to 2028 after a €3m loan from Milan was made permanent for about €24m.
