Aston Villa have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Italian striker this summer. The striker has been unstoppable this season and hence has interest from multiple top clubs across whole Europe.
The star in question here is Mateo Retegui who plays for Atalanta. The 25 year old has been superb this season and is currently one of the best strikers in the world. He has scored 23 goals in 35 games and has topped it with 4 assists as well.
Retegui has been looked upon by multiple top clubs across whole Europe. He joined Atalanta just in summer 2024 but it seems like a new and bigger challenge awaits him after just one year. As of now, Arsenal are constantly being linked with Retegui.
The North London club are desperately looking for striker. They are surely going to make big move in summer. They do have other options such as Sesko and Isak, but Retegui could cost them way less than them. But, Gunners are now joined by their English rivals in the race.
Aston Villa join the race to sign Mateo Retegui
According to Caught Offside, Aston Villa are keen to sign Retegui this summer. Unai Emery wants to challenge of UCL spot regularly and hence wants a quality squad. Earlier, Jhon Duran left the club which has opened up space in the number nine position. In addition, Watkins is 29 and will require replacement soon in future.
Retegui can be a great addition to the Villa squad. But the report states that it will be hard for them to convince the striker to join them instead of other top clubs. If they are able to convince him, the deal can very likely get over line this summer. Financially Villa are in very good place and hence can fulfill Atalanta’s demands.
