Mateo Retegui’s performances for club and country have attracted the interest of a number of top Serie A clubs, with AC Milan among them.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below), Tigre and Boca Juniors are co-owners of a player whose value has now skyrocketed as he is now worth €15-20m, but accurately predicting his true asking price ahead of the summer is ‘like thinking about stopping a moving car’.
Tigre will buy 50% of the striker for €2.1m and then the plan is to wait for the bids to come in, with Inter leading the race as they have spoken to his family and have watched him in South America for some time now.
The idea of the Nerazzurri is to sign him to take the place of Joaquin Correa but that was when his price was a bit lower, so it remains to be seen if the Nerazzurri’s plans remain intact given their financial problems.
Milan are admirers of Retegui too having also scouted him, and they seem ready to refresh the attack given that Divock Origi has disappointed thus far, Ante Rebic is leaving, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a separate chapter and Olivier Giroud will turn 37 this year.
This is why including Retegui in the squad would be ideal for Stefano Pioli, but the Rossoneri are not willing to participate in auctions.
