Manchester United, PSG, Juventus, Napoli, Aston Villa. These are clubs that follow the development of an Italian 25-year-old. The striker has stayed a little under the radar of the biggest clubs. Then came the transfer to Atalanta in 2024. With 20 goals in 22 Serie A games so far this season, Mateo Retegui has firmly positioned himself as one of the hot strikers ahead of this summer’s transfer market.
What makes it particularly interesting is that Atalanta is said to be willing to sell for around 60 million euros and cash in a capital gain of around 30 million euros in one year.
Thus, a signing of Retgui would be considered “reasonable” compared to the signing of an Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, Lautaro Martinez, Victor Osimhen or Benjamin Sesko.
According to Caughtoffside’s sources, Arsenal have been proactive and have already made contact with Atalanta about a potential transfer for the top scorer. The London club does not intend to start the new season without a goal guarantor at the top.
