Atalanta striker Mateo Retegui should stand on the transfer Radar of Manchester United and Arsenal, with both sides need a top scorer before the next season.
Retegui scored 20 goals in 2024/25, the first player in the history of the top flight of Italy, who reached this milestone until this phase of a campaign. He is also firmly in the European Golden Schuhr race together with Mohamed Salah (22) and Harry Kane (21).
It is therefore understandable why the 25-year-old would be of interest to other clubs who need a uniform goal scorer. Manchester United Front Men Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are unpolished development projects, while Arsenal lacked a reliable striker since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s form 2020 had signed a lucrative new contract.
Foot Mercato It notes that both Premier League pages were already in contact with Atalanta, and Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain also made angular seeds.
Retegui has exploded from the relative darkness. It was only in 2023 when he arrived in Italy from his homeland in Italy and was signed by Genoa von Boca Juniors, but had a large part of his career success in two years with the less well -known club Tigre with a career success.
Seven goals of series A last season was not an excellent number, but he was already an Italy international -entitled to his Sicilian grandfather -before even leaving South America. But Atalanta saw enough to take 28 million EUR to sign the player, additionally from Gianluca Scamacca with a long -term knee injury and harvested the rewards.
Retegui has a contract with Atalanta by 2028.
