Mateo Retegui with 27 G/A and valued at €50-60 million, has got attention from the Premier League sides.
The Atalanta forward has been linked with a move to England. He has been having a great season so far. His performances have grabbed the attention of Arsenal and Manchester United. He was also linked with Aston Villa.
The two top sides are now looking to improve their attacking lines. And they are interested in Retegui as a potential target. He has 23 goals and four assists as of now this campaign. He can turn into a great long-term signing for these English sides.
As per Fichajes, the Italian side will not be willing to let him leave for a fee of €50-60 million. Arsenal and Man Utd certainly have the financial power to make deal for the player.
The Gunners want to have an option for Gabriel Jesus. Jesus is currently recovering from his ACL injury. He is ruled out for the rest of the season. However, when he was fit, he wasn’t able to score regularly.
They need a proper goal scorer with consistent form. They are still in race for the Premier League and Champions league titles.
The 25-year-old might be an better option then the Brazilian. In addition, joining a top club like Arsenal will be exciting for him. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will surely make him think of the move. The level of football he’ll be playing in England will help him improve his game more.
Three top teams interested in Mateo Retegui
The striker is in a great form in this season with Atalanta. With that, there are several clubs looking to get his signature. Three European giants are willing to make a move for him away from Italy.
As per various sources, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester United are showing interest in Mateo Retegui.
The Red Devils want to upgrade their attack ranks. The Gunners are without a proper and reliable forward. They have identified Retegui as an ideal option.
In the meantime, PSG are also keeping tracks on the attacker and are not ruling out his signing.
Manchester United are very keen on the Italian striker
The striker will be having a great opportunity to play at the Theatre of Dreams, the Old Trafford. It will be interesting if they can make this deal happen. They will be fighting with Arsenal for getting his signature.
United are looking for better options than Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund. Zirkzee is still adapting with the English football. The club is facing lack of goal scoring intent at times. They need a reliable striker.
The Italy international has shown his abilities and qualities in the Italian league. With his potential, he can be a good fit in England. Now time will tell if Ruben Amorim’s team follow up on their interest in the attacker.
Although, Amorim’s side won’t be able to offer Champions League football next season for the forward. They’re currently struggling this campaign. There’s a high chance that they won’t make it to the top four.
Author’s Opinion
Arsenal are still without a proper striker this season. They failed to make any new signings to add to their attacking department in January. Retegui is a good option for Arteta’s side given his consistent performances.
Meanwhile, Man United will also try to convince him to join. Even though, he will not be playing in the Champions League next campaign.
And with PSG also joining the two Premier League clubs to sign the forward, it’ll get more exciting to see if any one finally lands him.
