Atalanta's standout player and Serie A's top scorer, Mateo Retegui, has emerged as Manchester United's primary target for the number nine position in the upcoming summer transfer window. Retegui has surpassed other strikers like Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, and Victor Osimhen on United’s list of potential signings for the summer. United have monitored Retegui on multiple occasions this season and reportedly hold a high opinion of his abilities. Manager Ruben Amorim is of the opinion that Retegui fits perfectly into his 3-4-2-1 system. Although Atalanta had planned to retain Retegui this summer, his impressive performances are drawing interest from top European clubs. Atalanta's valuation of Retegui exceeds €60 million, with his price continuing to rise.

Manchester United has shown interest in signing Mateo Retegui to bolster their attack amidst uncertainties concerning Rasmus Højlund. Atalanta recognizes Retegui's talent and is determined not to sell him for less than 50-60 million euros. The 25-year-old Italian forward has attracted attention from Manchester United, PSG, and Arsenal following an impressive season with Atalanta, where he scored 23 goals and contributed 4 assists in 33 matches. His recent four-goal display against Hellas Verona has further enhanced his standing as a leading striker in Italian football.
