I agree with you, it is too early for Mateo Retegui to accept an offer to move to the Saudi League, even though we know that the offer could be very lucrative, like a guarantee for future savings, plus he is still relatively young. Money can buy anything, but compared to sacrificing his career in Europe, this is a decision made too hastily, with too many things to sacrifice.
I hope Mateo Retegui does not regret the decision he has made and can enjoy his time playing for Al-Qadsiah.
Well, everyone was quite surprised by Mateo Retegui's decision to join the SPL club, Al-Qadisiyah. Besides being at the peak of his career, he was also the top scorer in Serie A last season. So his decision to leave Atalanta was completely unexpected. The club seems to have agreed to this. And Fabrizio Romano also mentioned this. So it seems this transfer is indeed real.
1 Well, I hope he can maintain his quality there. Because that way, he will remain reliable for the Italian national team. However, if he declines after joining the SPL club, his position as the main striker of the Italian national team will be slightly threatened.
2 So I hope Mateo Retegui can continue to prove that he will not weaken and will even show his best after joining Al-Qadisiyah.
