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.
