Charles De Ketelaere's name was the highlight of the weekend: he scored a brace against Lazio in Atalanta's 3-1 win.
Thanks to his performances under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta will bring Milan a total of 23 million euros (+ 3 million euros in bonuses), and Milan has also retained a percentage for future resale.
De Ketelaere cannot be a regret, as told by Antonio Vitiello of Milan News. The reason? Everyone saw what happened last year when he was on the field. Forty appearances and not even a goal.
Charles didn't find the right environment to assert his qualities; he suffered a lot from the transition from Club brugge to Milan and couldn't bear 'the weight of the shirt'.
In Bergamo, he probably found his dimension, with a coach who historically brings out the best in young players and where there is more time to wait for talents to develop.
Milan is the place where players like Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan are debated, let alone Charles De Ketelaere.
