Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are among the top clubs pursuing the signature of Atalanta striker Mateo Retegui this summer, with both teams keen on bolstering their attacking options. The 25-year-old Italy international has been in red-hot form this season, registering 20 goals and contributing three assists in just 22 Serie A matches for Atalanta.
His performances have caught the eye of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and his future is expected to be one of the key transfer stories in the upcoming window.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that Arsenal has already initiated contact with Atalanta regarding a potential deal for Retegui. The Gunners, who are in the hunt for a reliable striker, see the Italian forward as a potential addition to their forward line. However, they will face stiff competition from Manchester United, who have also placed the striker on their radar. Both clubs are on the lookout for a goal-scoring forward to lead their attack, and Retegui is seen as a strong candidate.
The competition for Retegui’s signature is not limited to just Arsenal, Man City and United, with other clubs such as Juventus, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, and Aston Villa also reportedly interested. His excellent form in Italy, combined with his potential to thrive in the Premier League, makes him a highly sought-after target.
Atalanta is unlikely to let their star player go easily, and sources indicate that they would demand around €60 million for Retegui’s services. This figure could be appealing to clubs with deep pockets like Arsenal, Manchester United, and PSG, especially when compared to the cost of other high-profile forwards in the market. If this deal materializes, it could be one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer.
