Atalanta Eye New Strikers After Agreeing €70M Sale of Mateo Retegui to Al Qadsiah. Serie A side Atalanta are reportedly exploring multiple striker options. Following their agreement to sell Argentine forward Mateo Retegui to Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah for a staggering €70 million.
The deal marks one of the biggest sales in Atalanta’s history and reflects the growing financial influence of Saudi clubs on the European transfer market. Retegui, who joined Atalanta less than a year ago, quickly established himself as a key figure in their attack, becoming the team’s top scorer and helping them secure European qualification.โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที
His rapid adaptation to Serie A and clinical finishing attracted significant attention from clubs across Europe and beyond. However, Al Qadsiah’s lucrative offer, combined with a substantial salary package for the player, proved too good to refuse for both parties.
With Retegui’s departure now imminent, Atalanta are actively scouting replacements. Among the names reportedly under consideration are Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee, Montpellier’s Elye Wahi, and Brighton’s João Pedro. The club is prioritizing a forward with strong physical presence, positional intelligence, and the ability to fit into Gian Piero Gasperini’s high-pressing, fluid system.
Atalanta sporting director Tony D’Amico is expected to move swiftly in the market to ensure the team remains competitive for the upcoming season. Retegui’s sale provides both a challenge and an opportunity: to reinvest wisely and maintain the club’s strong domestic and European trajectory.
Fans will be watching closely to see who steps into the void left by their departing star.
