According to Tuttomercato, Milan are interested in Retegui, who transferred to Al-Qadisiyya in Saudi Arabia a year ago. The player would gladly return to Italy, but a deal to sign him requires a significant sum of money. He was purchased for almost 70 million and has a salary of 20 million euros per season, and Milan would need to reduce these figures.

Mateo Retegui wants only to return to Serie A. According to Tuttosport, the player's father spoke with Milan and also had direct contact with Marco Ottolini, the sporting director of Juventus. Al-Qadisiya has no intention of letting him leave on loan or for free, and the salary he receives in Saudi Arabia is very high. His price could be a minimum of approximately 40 million euros.

One of Mateo Retegui's agents, Alessandro Moggi, had dinner with Milan's sporting director, Igli Tare, to discuss the 26-year-old Italian international attacker. Milan's proposal for Retegui is a five-year contract worth 5 million euros annually plus bonuses, with a potential transfer fee of at least 45-50 million euros. A significant obstacle is the player's current net salary of 16 million euros per year at Al Qadisiya, though a potential deal structure is a loan with an option to buy.
