Charles De Ketelaere has been a regular in the Italian Serie A for the past four years. The 25-year-old Belgian has caught the attention of two Bundesliga giants: Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern. The clubs are reportedly interested in De Ketelaere, who has a contract until 2028. According to a report, Atalanta is considering a transfer of De Ketelaere to free up budget for new signings. However, the offer would need to be in the range of 40-50 million euros, which would be a significant challenge for Borussia Dortmund. The club has a need for a new player after Julian Brandt's departure. De Ketelaere is reportedly a serious alternative for Borussia Dortmund's squad planning. FC Bayern, on the other hand, sees De Ketelaere as a Plan B option. The positive aspect for FC Bayern is that De Ketelaere would only demand four to five million euros per year, which would not be a significant burden on the club's budget. There has been no official approach from either of the two Bundesliga clubs. De Ketelaere is currently focusing on the World Cup.
