It seems that Milan are watching these World Cup play-offs with particular attention, because they have their eye on two national team players to strengthen the squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.
It seems to be no secret that Milan are in the market for a new striker and a central defender ahead of 2026-27 and they could turn towards two names that are close to home, at least in terms of their Azzurri presence: Mateo Retegui and Federico Gatti.
Following Italy’s 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland, Nicolò Schira (via Radio Rossonera) discussed the futures of several players from the national team. Regarding Milan, the names of Gatti and Retegui were mentioned, two interesting ideas for the future.
On Gatti: “Federico Gatti could leave Juve if given a good offer. Several Premier League teams are interested in him, but be careful because he’s an old favourite of Massimiliano Allegri’s. Who knows, maybe Milan could come back and try again. Juventus would want €20-25m to sell him”
On Retegui: “There was a possibility a couple of weeks ago: a dinner between his agent Alessandro Moggi and Milan sporting director Igli Tare. If the opportunity arose, perhaps on loan and with part of his salary paid by the Arabs, the Rossoneri would be ready. Above all, Retegui is homesick for Italy and would be very happy to return.”
