The possibility of Matteo Lettegi (26, Atalanta), the top scorer in Serie A from 2024 to 2025, going to Saudi Arabia has been raised. Fabrizio Romano, who reported the news of the European transfer market, said on his SNS on the 4th (Korea time) that `Saudi League member Al-Qadissiya has offered 40 million euros (about 64 billion won) to Atalanta for Letegi's transfer fee, and wants to negotiate detailed provisions'Atalanta has no intention of paying Letegi right away and is asking for more transfer fees'
Retegui, who made his professional debut with Boca Juniors in 2018, joined Genoa in 2023 after playing Estudiantes, Tayeres and Tigre and entered the European stage. He signed a four-year contract with Atalanta for a €22 million transfer last season, scoring 28 goals and nine assists in 49 games. He became the top scorer with 25 goals and eight assists in 36 Serie A matches. Born in Argentina, he was called up to the Italian national team in 2023 and played 20 A matches.
Retegi is expected to receive attention from Juventus and AC Milan through the transfer market this summer. However, Al-Qaddishya's participation in the recruitment campaign led to a reversal of composition.
Al-Qadshiya is a relatively lesser known team compared to al-Hilal, al-Itihad and al-Ahli. However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nacho Fernandez are part of the team, and they ranked fourth in the league last season.
