Charles De Ketelaere

Recent reports from January 2026 suggest Atalanta's asking price for a transfer starts at €55-60 million, with the club reportedly only willing to sell for offers exceeding €70 million. A November 2025 report claimed a bid three times what Atalanta paid (approximately €66 million) would be irresistible. In December 2024, West Ham was reportedly valuing the player around £40 million (approx. €47 million). His Transfermarkt value was cited at €38 million in late 2024 and early 2025. For context, his permanent transfer from AC Milan to Atalanta in July 2024 was completed for a reported €22 million, and he had previously moved from Club Brugge to AC Milan in August 2022 for €32 million.

Our valuation for Charles De Ketelaere is driven by consistent reports on Atalanta's firm asking price. January 2026 rumours state negotiations would start around €55-60 million, with the club only considering offers exceeding €70 million. This is corroborated by reports that a bid around €66 million would be irresistible. This significant markup from the reported €22-25 million fee Atalanta paid in July 2024 is justified by his strong performances, widespread Premier League interest, and the existence of a 10% sell-on clause for AC Milan.
