Real Madrid are considering Atalanta forward Charles De Ketelaere as a potential replacement for Endrick, reports Real Madrid Confidencial.

The 23-year-old has been one of the standout performers this season, having made 24 appearances for Atalanta and scoring 10 goals.

His impressive form and ability to find the back of the net have caught the attention of several top clubs and Real Madrid happen to be one of them.

Endrick is key to this

The interest in De Ketelaere from Real Madrid is largely tied to the future of Endrick. If the young Brazilian decides to leave the club on loan in the winter transfer window, Real Madrid would likely need to find a suitable replacement.

De Ketelaere’s versatility in attack, with the ability to play as a centre-forward or out wide, makes him an appealing option for manager Carlo Ancelotti.

His experience in European competitions, particularly in the Champions League, further adds to his value as a potential signing for the Spanish giants.

There is competition

However, Real Madrid will face stiff competition for De Ketelaere’s signature. Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Arsenal, are also reportedly interested in the Belgian forward.

The presence of these clubs in the race means that the competition for De Ketelaere will be intense, but Real Madrid could use the situation to their advantage if they act quickly.

Although De Ketelaere is under contract with Atalanta until 2027, a move in the January transfer window is still possible. Real Madrid may look to capitalise on any opportunity that arises, particularly if Endrick’s departure is confirmed.

With their sights set on reinforcements that offer both immediate impact and long-term potential, De Ketelaere could be an ideal addition to Real Madrid’s squad, helping to strengthen their attacking options for the rest of the season and beyond.
