"After initial reports of Bayern Munich's strong interest in Anthony Gordon, another name emerged. Another versatile player who could come at potentially half the price. That player was Atalanta's Charles De Ketelaere. However, Florian Plettenberg has now reported that these reports are not true, as captured by @iMiaSanMia."
"Valued at about half the price as Gordon on Transfermarkt, De Ketelaere was speculated to be a bargain alternative with big upside. Despite his versatility, Bayern Munich are not looking for a player of his profile. According to these reports, the Belgian is not even on Bayern's shortlist and Bayern never held concrete talks with the player."
"The reports seemed to make sense, but it seems Bayern will have to go back to the drawing board here. While Gordon remains an expensive option, with Bayern willing to spend 70 million euros on him, does it make sense to look elsewhere? With Bayern's immensely strong attack, perhaps a younger and cheaper option might make more long-term sense for the club."
Bayern Munich were initially reported to have strong interest in Anthony Gordon, and a second potential target emerged as a cheaper alternative. Charles De Ketelaere of Atalanta was valued at about half the price of Gordon and was seen as a versatile option with potential upside. Reports claimed Bayern could pursue him instead, but new reporting states those claims are not true. Bayern are not looking for De Ketelaere’s profile, he is not on the club’s shortlist, and Bayern never held concrete talks with him. Bayern’s focus remains on Gordon, with an estimated 70 million euros willingness to spend, raising questions about whether a younger, cheaper option would be better long term.
