Mateo Retegui on Juventus’ list to strengthen the attack.

Luciano Spalletti is determined to strengthen Juventus' attack before the summer transfer window closes, and attention is now focused on Italian forward Mateo Retegui. This player, who has stood out for the national team, is one of the names under consideration by the club's management, according to reports in the media.

Juventus has already secured the signings of forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator, but has also suffered significant losses, such as the departure of Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer and the loan of Lois Openda. The situations of Jonathan David and Arkadiusz Milik also do not seem favorable, as they are not considered part of Spalletti's plans. For Juventus to proceed with a new signing in attack, it is necessary for David to leave the club, creating additional pressure for the squad to adjust.

Several names have been linked to a potential transfer to Allianz Stadium, including Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United and Alexander Sorloth from Atlético de Madrid. However, the reemergence of Retegui in Juventus' discussions is a notable development, especially considering that the player had already attracted interest in previous transfer windows. Spalletti knows Retegui well, having worked with him while he was the coach of Italy, and Juventus' sporting director, Marco Ottolini, also holds him in high regard. Ottolini was responsible for bringing Retegui to Serie A, having signed him from Genoa in 2023.

According to a report from Tuttosport, Juventus is considering a possible loan for Retegui, should he express interest in returning to the Italian league. However, the high salary of 20 million euros per season and the two years remaining on his contract with Al-Qadsiah, following a transfer of 65 million euros from Atalanta, complicate the situation. Convincing Retegui to move to Turin should not be a problem, but the salary issue could pose a significant obstacle to overcome.

The movement surrounding Retegui could have important implications for the team's structure and Juventus's ambitions this season. If the transfer materializes, it could not only strengthen the team's attack but also affect the dynamics of the squad and Spalletti's options for the season. With the transfer window closing, time is of the essence, and the pressure on Juventus to find effective solutions increases each day.
