Atalanta Signs Italy Forward Mateo Retegui in Multi-Million Euro Deal

Atalanta has secured the signing of Italy forward Mateo Retegui from Genoa in a deal reportedly worth around 28 million euros. Retegui, 25, has earned 12 international caps since his debut in 2023. He is expected to fill in for Gianluca Scamacca, who is sidelined with an ACL injury.

Atalanta has made a significant move by signing Italy forward Mateo Retegui from Genoa, as announced by the Europa League champions on Thursday. While financial details were not officially disclosed, reports suggest a deal valued at approximately 28 million euros.

Born in Argentina, the 25-year-old Retegui has quickly established himself on the international stage, having participated in 12 international matches since his debut in 2023. His recent appearance includes all four of Italy's matches during the European Championship.

Retegui's addition will be crucial for Atalanta's squad depth, especially with Gianluca Scamacca out for at least six months due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has indicated that the team has struggled to maintain its competitive edge in recent months.
