Perhaps it is still early to be able to undertake certain discussions. However, it is difficult to avoid them when such a player has completely reversed the inertia: the box containing the zero was erased with goals and plays that in the Bergamo area were reminiscent of a Slovenian who passed away not so long ago. But no comparisons, Charles De Ketelaere he managed to bring out his personality in a season in which he was at home Atalanta almost everything seems to work perfectly: 7 goals in the league, 11 in total including cups. Numbers that lead to a practically predictable epilogue.
Advice
“I suggest to Charles to confirm his home in Bergamo”, declared the Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi a few days ago. An advice on which Gasperini did not want to go too far – “He has a lot of room for improvement, he will ask me for advice, now we have other thoughts and other objectives to achieve”, he declared in the press conference -, but it matters little given that the Belgian is liked a lot to the Nerazzurri coach: if he had performed less in the attacking midfield, as a second striker-winger he often made the difference. Question of intuitions.
22 million ready
So will there be a ransom? Barring imponderable variables, yes: the Orobic club will pay the 22 million euros to Milan and will enjoy a player who from the first moments gave the sensation of being a winning bet. In the event of a further flop, the Bergamo players probably would not have exercised the option, but this scenario had no sense in existing right from the first matches: De Ketelaere conquered Bergamo and convinced the Goddess, now we just need to think about the field. And to a season finale that could go down in the history books.
