The management of the Italian club AC Milan is monitoring the situation of Italian striker Mateo Retegui, a player for Al-Qadisiyah, in preparation for exploring the possibility of signing him during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The interest of the Italian club comes amid a review of its attacking options, especially with the decreasing likelihood of activating the purchase clause for the German striker Niclas Füllkrug, who is on loan from West Ham.

According to Italian press reports, AC Milan officials are considering several alternatives to strengthen the front line, with Retegui's name prominently featured as one of the strong options.

The 26-year-old forward joined Al-Qadsia during the summer transfer window for the 2025/2026 season, coming from the Italian club Atalanta.

Retegui delivered impressive performances this season, participating in 28 matches across various competitions, during which he scored 18 goals and provided one assist.

The player has international experience with the Italian national team, having played 26 international matches, which enhances his technical value and makes him an attractive target for European clubs seeking a decisive striker.
