Charles De Ketelaere is putting Serie A at his feet. Like many in Italy, Antonio Cassano is a fan.
In the Boot, Antonio Cassano is now known for his very clear positions. The former Inter player was invited by Vivo El Futbol to speak about the phenomenon Charles De Ketelaere.
The Red Devil remains at a very high level in recent months with Atalanta. With 20 goals and 16 assists in 2024, he is only ahead of Mohamed Salah and Cole Palmer in the list of the most decisive players of the year.
Cassano goes further than these figures: “De Ketelaere is one of the best players in Serie A and one of the best in the world. Congratulations to him, Atalanta and their brilliant coach Gasperini.”
Among the greatest?
“I think he is destined to join a top team in the years to come and that he could one day win the Ballon d'Or, or at least be one of the contenders,” he enthuses.
Antonio Cassano accepts his words: “The only player I can put above at the moment is Mo Salah, who is 32 years old. Perhaps only Lamine Yamal Barcelona is also above him, but if Barca sold him, who would they sign? From Ketelaere. For me, he is one of the best in the world.” Which further raises the question of his playing time with the Red Devils (two starts in 2024, two minutes played at the Euro).
