Mateo Retegui, an Italian nationalized striker, is practically closed with Al-Qadisiya, where he is expected to become a new attacking partner of Mexican Julián Quiñones. Retegui had a very good campaign in the 2024-25 season, registering 25 goals in 36 games with Atalanta. Argentine reporters indicate that the offer received by Atalanta is around 50 million euros, which has been considered by the neroazzurro team, and they might consider letting go of their top scorer.

Goal.com reports on the interest from Saudi clubs in Mateo Retegui amid Atalanta's high asking price. Mateo Retegui also faces competition from Saudi clubs, including Al Qadasiya, as Atalanta has set a €50 million asking price for the striker. AC Milan is also interested in signing the Serie A top scorer, which adds another layer of competition to the transfer saga.
