Overview
- De Ketelaere scored three goals and supplied one assist in five games at the 2026 World Cup, performances that have sharply increased his visibility to top clubs.
- Italian reports say Atalanta are valuing the 25‑year‑old at about €50 million, though no formal offers or completed moves have been confirmed.
- Bayern Munich have reportedly made an initial enquiry and Paris Saint‑Germain plus several unnamed Premier League clubs are tracking him, with PSG coach Luis Enrique said to prize his tactical versatility.
- Atalanta’s willingness to sell has shifted after recent transfer developments, including the collapse of Ederson’s move to Manchester United and the earlier sale of Marco Palestra.
- If formal bids arrive this summer, the situation could trigger a bidding run that would reshape Atalanta’s first‑team planning and accelerate De Ketelaere’s next career move.
