€60m Atlanta Forward on Arsenal and Man United Radar Amid Serie A Success | OneFootball

Retegui’s Potential Move to the Premier League Heats Up

CaughtOffside reports that Arsenal have initiated contact with Atalanta regarding a possible deal for in-form Italy international Mateo Retegui. With 20 goals and three assists in 22 Serie A appearances this season, Retegui has become one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers. Arsenal’s interest is clear, but they face competition from Manchester United, Juventus, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, and Aston Villa.

Arsenal and United’s Striking Needs Intensify

“Arsenal have registered their interest” in Retegui, according to CaughtOffside, as they search for a prolific frontman to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options. With both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus struggling for consistency, Retegui’s clinical finishing could be the missing piece in Arsenal’s title ambitions.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s woes up front have been stark. “United…surely need to offload both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund after their total lack of impact,” as reported by CaughtOffside. Retegui, with his lethal form, offers a clear upgrade and could reignite United’s attack.

Will Atalanta’s Price Tag Deter Suitors?

CaughtOffside reveals Atalanta’s asking price is around €60m—a figure that could entice clubs given Retegui’s form and potential value compared to pricier forwards like Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, and Victor Osimhen. For clubs like Arsenal and United, this fee appears reasonable for a proven goalscorer.

Excited Arsenal Fan: Retegui could be the finisher Arsenal desperately need. Arteta’s side have created countless chances, only for poor finishing to cost them vital points. His arrival could be the final piece in their title puzzle.

Sceptical United Fan: While Retegui is impressive, United’s real issue lies in their creativity. Without better service from midfield, even the best strikers will struggle.

Overall Perspective: Retegui’s arrival could shake up the Premier League, but which club offers him the best platform to succeed? Arsenal looks more appealing with their upward trajectory, but United’s legacy and potential rebuild could also tempt him.
