Retegui targeted by Juventus

Juventus continues to bolster its attacking line. According to Tuttosport, the Italian club has set its sights on Mateo Retegui, who is currently under contract with Al-Qadsiah.

A profile that appeals to Spalletti

Luciano Spalletti is eager to add a new center-forward for the upcoming season. Jonathan David and Arkadiusz Milik are reportedly not in his plans. After exploring the options of Joshua Zirkzee and Alexander Sørloth, Juventus has now reignited its interest in Retegui.

The 27-year-old Italian striker joined Al-Qadsiah after his stint at Atalanta, who sold him for around €65 million.

Salary complicates the deal

Juventus could consider bringing Retegui in on loan. However, there is a major stumbling block: his salary in Saudi Arabia. The Italian international is reportedly earning around €20 million net per season at Al-Qadsiah—a figure well out of reach for Juventus under current conditions.

Mateo Retegui presents an intriguing option for Juventus: he knows Serie A inside out, boasts solid international experience, and fits the mold of a true number 9 capable of making an impact in the box. The move makes perfect sense from a sporting perspective, but his salary could quickly become the main obstacle in negotiations.
