Club career

Club Brugge

De Ketelaere joined Club Brugge at the age of 7, also working as a ball boy.[3] He also played tennis as a youth, but chose to pursue football.[3]

He made his senior debut on 25 September 2019, when he played the full game in the 2019–20 Belgian Cup matchup against Francs Borains.[4]

On 22 October 2019, he made his UEFA Champions League debut against Paris Saint-Germain. He started the game and was substituted in the 57th minute with the score of 1–0 to Paris Saint-Germain, the game eventually ended with a 5–0 loss.[5] On 5 February 2020, he scored a goal in a 2–1 win against Zulte Waregem to reach the Belgian Cup final.[6]

On 20 October 2020, De Ketelaere scored the game winning goal in the 93rd minute to defeat Zenit St. Petersburg 2–1 in the group stage of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League.[7]

AC Milan

On 2 August 2022, De Ketelaere joined Serie A club AC Milan on a contract until 30 June 2027.[8] Signed for a fee reported to be in the range of €35 million, De Ketelaere however failed to fulfill the initial expectations of the Rossoneri, scoring no goals throughout the entire season and making only nine league starts.[9]

Loan to Atalanta

On 16 August 2023, Atalanta formally confirmed the signing of De Ketelaere from AC Milan on a loan move with an option to buy.[10] On 20 August 2023, De Ketelaere came off the bench during Atalanta's Serie A match against Sassuolo, striking the crossbar before sealing his debut Serie A goal with a precise header.[11] The match ended 2–0 in Atalanta's favor.[12] On 21 September, De Ketelaere marked his presence by netting his first goal in a UEFA Europa League group stage match against Raków Częstochowa, contributing to Atalanta's 2–0 victory.[13][14]

International career

De Ketelaere was called-up for his debut in November 2020 in the Belgium national team as a substitute in a loss to Switzerland.[15] On 10 October 2021, he scored his debut international goal in the Belgium third place playoff match loss to Italy for the Nations League, 2–1.[3] In a 2022 FIFA World Cup match against Morocco, De Ketelaere substituted Michy Batshuayi in the 75th minute.
