I just read the news that our best striker from last season has just agreed to a contract with a team in the Saudi Pro League. Mateo Retegui is leaving Atalanta to play for Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia for a fee of €67 million, another record transfer for Atalanta. Mateo, on the other hand, will earn €20 million per season.
It's become impossible to compete with the Arab teams. Unfortunately, they have incredible spending power, and no Italian team, nor even a European one, I believe, can compete with them.
