Mateo Retegui has completed a permanent transfer to Al-Qadsiah from Atalanta. <\/p>\n Retegui, who has signed a four-year contract with the Saudi Pro League side, reportedly joins for a \u20ac65m fee plus add-ons, which would make him the most expensive ever Italian player. <\/p>\n The 26-year-old\u2019s move would surpass the total Newcastle United paid AC Milan for the services of Sandro Tonali, who arrived at St. James\u2019 Park for a reported \u20ac59m. <\/p>\n Retegui spent just one season at Atalanta, signing from Genoa as a replacement for the injured Gianluca Scamacca, and impressed under Gian Piero Gasperini. <\/p>\n He finished as Serie A\u2019s top scorer in 2024-25 after finding the back of the net 25 times in 36 appearances in the competition. <\/p>\n The Italy international scored 10 goals with his right foot and 10 with his left foot, becoming the second player to reach double figures in goals with both feet in a single campaign in the last 20 Serie A seasons (since 2005-06), after Alessandro Del Piero in 2007-08.<\/p>\n Retegui averaged a goal every 96 minutes in the Italian top flight last season, while also boasting the best shot conversion rate (24%) of all the strikers in the competition to feature more than 30 times.<\/p>\n Retegui has arrived![](\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/wp-content\/themes\/SN\/images\/300x250_HR.gif\")
