Al Qadsiah wants to sign Mateo Retegui



https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1940821744841117837

Mateo Retegui is 26 years old, he plays as a striker and honestly at this age he still has the potential to play for a big team in Europe, I don't know what he will decide, but after the Club World Cup games, it is becoming clear that the Saudi league can be beneficial for players in terms of finance but also in terms of maintaining their skills. I am not seeing any decline in skills in the European players who went to the Saudi league.
You know these days not every player fancies a move to Saudi Arabia, it is said that players who move to Saudi pro league only go for the money but most players prefer staying in Europe and making a name for themselves. We are yet to know Mateo’s decision, he is young and so I expect him to want to stay back and play in Europe.

Players need to think hard about their careers vs. how they will live after they retire. There are few players nowadays who are lucky enough to play for big teams and have a reputation with a high salary. In the case of Mateo Retegui, he will probably think about whether in the next 3 years he will have any chance of being in a big team in Europe where he will earn more salary and titles. After carefully analyzing this scenario, he can decide.

The Saudi league offers a lot of money for at least 2 or 3 years of contract and then European players can return to Europe and play in small leagues and who knows, return to a big league because this Club World Cup is showing that players who leave Europe for the Saudi league do not lose their skills in the Saudi league.
