"AC Milan director Igli Tare wanted to sign Mateo Retegui in the summer, but could not rival the bid that came in from the Middle East. Milan were linked with a long list of strikers during the most recent summer window. Some never seemed close to joining like Dusan Vlahovic and Moise Kean, while others came a lot closer like Victor Boniface and Conrad Harder. In the end, no natural centre-forward arrived."
""In June, Igli Tare made several inquiries about bringing Mateo Retegui to Milan, but at different prices, the Rossoneri would never have paid €66-70m," he stated. "We were talking about different figures, around €35-40m with bonuses. Atalanta never opened up and waited for Saudi Arabia. Milan, however, had some thoughts about it. "Retegui isn't considering a January departure from Al-Qadisiya. The striker will still consider Serie A in the future, I can assure you. The meeting with Milan didn't work out for several reasons.""
Igli Tare pursued Mateo Retegui in June but AC Milan could not match the offer coming from the Middle East. Milan targeted a long list of strikers during the summer window, with targets ranging from unlikely to close contenders such as Victor Boniface and Conrad Harder. No traditional centre-forward arrived, and the club invested €37m plus bonuses to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea, a versatile forward. Talks about Retegui centred on offers around €35–40m with bonuses while a €66–70m valuation remained unaffordable. Atalanta held out for Saudi interest and Retegui is not considering a January departure from Al-Qadisiya.
