The Al-Qadisiya forward Mateo Retegui, well-acquainted with the Italian league, shared his story with Al Arabiya microphones about his career and revealed some market behind-the-scenes.

Retegui, the missed negotiation with Milan and the reason for the refusal: Here’s his take on Gravina’s words

Mateo Retegui is a familiar face in the Italian league. In the 2023/2024 season, he moved to Genoa from Tigre, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists in 29 matches with the griffin. The following year, in the 2024/2025 season, he joined Gasperini's Atalanta, where he won the Serie A top scorer award with 25 goals and 8 assists in 36 matches, earning his spot as the center forward in the Italian National Team. The Italo-Argentinian shared his story with the Arab broadcaster Al Arabiya, also discussing a market backstory related to the Rossoneri.

“I chose Al-Qadisiya for what the coach conveyed to me. Milan? There were several clubs interested, but the negotiations did not go well, while Al-Qadisiya was the most concrete team and wanted me the most,” the forward stated.

On Gravina’s words about his transfer to Arabia: “Gravina against my transfer? I respect Gravina’s opinion, the president of the Italian Federation. I have a good relationship with him. However, I don’t want to talk about this issue, my statements could be distorted.”
