According to Voetbalnieuws.be, amounts for Charles De Ketelaere around €40 million were being discussed in Italy, with some rumors suggesting up to €50 million, while interested clubs such as Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich questioned if he was worth that fee if he did not score enough. The report states that following the match against the United States, there is a clearer answer to that question. It is noted that the main counter-argument was disproven because for a €40 million fee, players must be able to decide big matches, and Charles De Ketelaere did so.

According to German reports, both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are interested in De Ketelaere. Dortmund's interest is reportedly more concrete. In Italy, a valuation of around 40 million euros has been discussed, with some rumors suggesting a range of 40 to 50 million euros. Dortmund cannot complete a transfer of that size without first selling players. Karim Adeyemi has been mentioned as a player who could be sold to raise funds. It is reported that if De Ketelaere performs well against Senegal, Dortmund would have a stronger case for the transfer and would need to decide more quickly about signing him.

Borussia Dortmund is interested in signing 25-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder Charles De Ketelaere, but the German club has a financial problem. The club needs to sell players before it can make a major signing, and De Ketelaere has two years remaining on his contract at Atalanta. Bayern München has also been mentioned as a potential destination, and in the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 31 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
