"Retegui represents the profile that closely matches Milan's current needs, as per the paper. He can play as the focal point in a 3-5-2, being ready to get on the end of service, freeing space for the other forwards but also dropping deeper to get involved in the build-up play. His presence would allow the Rossoneri to deploy a two-man attack in certain phases of the game."
"The real sticking point, however, is the financial aspect: when moving to Saudi Arabia, Retegui signed a contract worth €20m net per season, well beyond Milan's parameters. The only viable option would be a complete salary restructuring, perhaps a multi-year deal worth around €5m net per season plus bonuses. It will not be easy to convince any player to cut their pay by that amount."
AC Milan has renewed interest in signing Mateo Retegui, an Italian-Argentine striker currently at Al-Qadisiyah. The club views him as the perfect replacement for Olivier Giroud and the striker Massimiliano Allegri needs. Retegui's versatility allows him to play as a focal point in a 3-5-2 formation or in a two-man attack, making him tactically suited to Milan's system. He can operate effectively in multiple attacking configurations while contributing to build-up play. However, the primary obstacle is financial: Retegui earns €20m net annually in Saudi Arabia, far exceeding Milan's budget. A viable solution would require restructuring his contract to approximately €5m net per season plus bonuses, though convincing him to accept such a significant salary reduction remains difficult.
