I can't believe Atalanta just sold Mateo Retegui to Al Qadsiah for ?65 million euros. Honestly, I never saw this coming. As a club that wants to compete at the highest level in both domestic and european football, I think they've failed. They should have done a lot more to keep him, and their lack of ambition may be the reason Lookman wants to leave too. I'm sure many Atalanta fans will be disgusted by this news.

Don't tell me, Atalanta, which is the team I have a strong sympathy for, relied heavily on this player who had also been naturalized Italian.
I'm very disappointed with how it went but never mind, we'll find another one.
My philosophy is no one is indispensable, we are all useful.

This half-player makes me laugh, he preferred, like many others, the millions of the Arabs rather than a very important career in Italy, it's simply shameful, give him a couple of years and he'll end up in oblivion like all those who went there in search of money.

Completely agree with you, cannot stand all the players which are in the midst of their form and maturity, even from a personal view of the registry, who choose to go to play in championships in which stadiums are half-encountered and who offer nothing but a good golden retreat instead of continuing their career trying to win stimulating challenges and leave an imprint in the world of football.
And I do not accept the speech that they go gain much more considering that already in their current conditions are privileged that once they stopped playing they will no longer need to work for three or four lives at least.
Furthermore, my disagreement in this case is that at this moment he is also the center forward of the Italian national team and despite it he decides to go to play in a championship that does not stimulate even fans of the team for which he will play. Shame on him imo

It shouldn't be suprising since it's now a norms for most players now to leave the European clubs where they could show the world the talent they're made of and make name for themselves, for the Saudi League where they'll get extra cash and be hidden from much viewers, we'll I don't blame most of them since they're from poor backgrounds and would need that extra cash to carry the responsibilities of their family very well.

Anyways it's not a big deal and Atalanta fans shouldn't bother about it too much since the money they've made from the deal is to their own advantage, that's enough to go into the Brazilian league or lesser league in Italy and get young rising talents about two or so that would replace him.
