🤑 Retegui to Saudi Arabia: shock bid, Milan miss out? Atalanta... | OneFootball

Mateo Retegui's future is at the center of a negotiation that could take him away from Atalanta and Italy. The national team's striker is the main target of Al Qadsiah, a Saudi club ready to put a pharaonic economic offer on the table.

The Nerazzurri club has not officially put the player on the market, but will listen to important proposals. Meanwhile, Milan is watching with interest. The situation is in full development, with the parties waiting for the right moment to strike.

Retegui, for his part, seems to have softened his initial position. He would be convinced by the dizzying net salary promised by the Saudis. However, the final decision remains linked to Atalanta's green light.

🧨 Atalanta's position

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta considers Retegui unsellable only in theory: in the face of an important offer, valued at not less than 50 million euros plus bonuses, the Bergamo club could change its mind.

The reference for the valuation is Moise Kean's release clause, set at 52 million until July 15. Retegui is one year older than the Fiorentina striker, but scored three more goals in the last season.

Atalanta, strong in its financial autonomy, can afford to negotiate firmly and without pressure.

👀 Milan observes but remains defilato

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan has identified Retegui as the ideal profile to pair with Santiago Gimenez. But Atalanta's demands and the salary proposed by the Arabs make the operation inaccessible to the Rossoneri club.

Milan cannot compete with a net salary of 20 million nor with such a high figure for the card. Moreover, the club is currently focused on other roles in the squad, such as the full-backs and midfield.

A possible move for Retegui could only happen in August, in the late market. But the Arab negotiation could close before.

🤑 Shock offer for Retegui

According to Alfredo Pedullà, Mateo Retegui has now accepted Al Qadsiah's contractual offer, overcoming initial doubts.

The proposed contract provides for a net salary of 20 million euros per season, with the possibility of a three-year agreement. Now it is expected that the Saudi club will satisfy Atalanta's economic demands, which are around 60 million.

Al Qadsiah's offer could soon become formal. At that point, the ball will pass to the Goddess. The future of the striker is hanging on the green light from the Bergamo club.
