Borussia Dortmund is interested in signing 25-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder Charles De Ketelaere, but the German club has a financial problem and needs to sell players before it can make a major signing. While Bayern München has also been mentioned as a potential destination, the player is not a priority for them and is just one of several names on their shortlist.

De Ketelaere, who has a market value of 30 million euros, has two years remaining on his contract at Atalanta, which he joined in July 2024. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 31 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists. The Belgian international has earned 29 caps and scored 5 goals for his country.
